Kinect + ROS + VMware Ubuntu

I am using openni_kinect on a VM running ubuntu 11.10 . The host laptop runs windows 8 . When I run rviz I do not see any depth or RGB image , although the kinect is plugged in, roscore is running , and openni_kinect node has been launched

What is the issue ?

This question-answer is similar to your problem. So if @cassinaj 's answer doesn't give you any video, look here: Kinect / Primesense (Xtion) ROS Ubuntu through Virtual Machine (VMware)

If everything is running as you say, do the following if you haven't:

  • Add an "Image" Display type. Use the Add Button at the bottom of the Display Panel

  • Then go to Image in the Display Panel and select an Image Topic.

Alternatively, you can use the rqt_image_view plugin to display or check for image topics. Simply run rosrun rqt_image_view rqt_image_view then select a topic. Refresh the topic list if needed.

Cheers
