Matlab is not displaying device IDs for kinect cameras, when i run this command..
>> info = imaqhwinfo('kinect');
 The output it displays is:
info = 
       AdaptorDllName: [1x79 char]
    AdaptorDllVersion: '4.5 (R2013a)'
          AdaptorName: 'kinect'
            DeviceIDs: {1x0 cell}
           DeviceInfo: [1x0 struct]
Although i have installed all the necessary drivers for kinect.
I have been following this link: http://www.mathworks.com/videos/using-kinect-for-windows-with-matlab-77799.html

				Which Kinect are you using? Only the Kinect One is supported before R2016a; as of R2016a Kinect v2 support was added (though if you look in the File Exchange someone posted a v2 interface suitable for some of the earlier versions.)
The Kinect for XBox 360 is not supported at all.

        Are you all using USB3.0 ports? I think the Kinect v2 needs to be plugged into Windows via USB3.0 right?

        Hello. I tested Kinect at several MATLAB versions. Just work in MATLAB 2013.

				Kinect for 360 just work in MATLAB 2013. (I read that it isn't supported).

        What does it mean "DeviceIDs: {1x0 cell}"?

				That means that it was not able to detect any (supported) Kinect devices.
