Hi Ingmar,

yes, this would be a great enhancement of the open source MITK-ToF since the 
CamBoard Nano is a common and interesting ToF-Device and we support most other 
PMD cameras already. In principal, the device module implementation should be 
straight forward and very similar to e.g. the CamCube. You can find 
documentation describing the generation of a device module here:
http://docs.mitk.org/nightly-qt4/GeneratingDeviceModulesPage.html

In this case, I would recommend to have a look at the CamCube/CamBoard device 
in the PMD module (…/MITK-src/Modules/ToFHardware/PMD/).

Regarding your second question: MITK-ToF works very well for 64 Bit compilers. 
The PMD drivers, however, can be an issue. As far as I am concerned, PMD offers 
only 64 Bit drivers for the CamCube 3, but they planned to provide 64 Bit 
drivers for CamBoard Nano as well. You could contact PMD and just ask them. 
Alternatively, you can use MITK-ToF as a 32 Bit build on your 64 Bit machine 
until PMD updates the drivers.

Feel free to contact me regarding a contribution. The workload for you should 
be little.

Regards,
Thomas

Subject: [mitk-users] TOF PMD CamBoard Nano Win64

Dear Tof-MITK Developers ;),
I am in a lucky situation that a TOF Camera is lying on my desk!
I have checked that in the current trunk the CamBoard Nano by PMD is not 
supported (not listed in CMake structure) but several other PMDs are.

First question would be, is there an interest to enhance it to this hardware as 
well?
As I am working on a Win64 machine, second question would be, are there plans 
to enhance the support for 64 Bit compilers as well?
If ( yes && yes) { need a contact to evaluate workload and discuss possible 
contributions; }

Best Regards and keep up the good work,
Ingmar
