How to Install

You need to install them in the plugins/control folder in your VLC installation (usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC) and restart VLC.

You need to have RealSense runtime installed too, if you don't have it.

Finally, you need to activate them in the preferences. (advanced -> Interface -> Control Interfaces).

Source

Of course, I provide, the source of the plugin here, so you can hack on it, and recompile it.

To build it, you need the latest version of the RealSense SDK, with a version above 4, and you need to point to the right headers. Here is another patch to help you build it, if you need.
