I'm trying to simulate a Kinect sensor in Gazebo (6.1, standalone without ROS). I tried loading the Kinect model in **".gazebo/models/kinect"** using the GUI: Insert->Kinect. I tried checking up the published topics using Ctrl+T, but could not see any image or point cloud topics pertaining to the Kinect.
I have a completely fresh install of Gazebo 6 on Ubuntu 14.04. Trying to load the PR2 model also results in no kinect related topics (other cameras seem to work - the stereo pair publishes ImageStamped messages).
Are there any extra libraries that need to be installed to get the kinect sensor to work? For example, do I need an openni driver (like in ros where you may have to run the openni launcher) for the kinect sensor to start publishing topics?
