Question Identifying a Virtual HID in Device Manager ?

[Jimbo8814]

I have a program called FAAST to use physical gestures with a Microst RGB camera, (kine ct). I have it connected and functioning, I have a test set to type "JIM" when I wave, it is working in Brave browser and Notepad. However, it won't send inputs to apps, I've tried a variety.

I am trying to figure out what/how Windows identify's identifies the inputs FAAST is sending as so I can start troubleshooting and find a solution.

Would it be a HID I am looking for in device manager? Is there a diagnostic app that will show me the name of the "virtual Hardware" sending inputs.

I've determined FAAST isn't hooking my apps... I am trying to find a input software that it will hook as go between.

An example of what I am setting up... yes lol.

In Device Manager > View ensure that "Show hidden devices" is enabled.

This:

"it is working in Brave browser and Notepad"

You may be able to use Task Mananager and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to look for something that is running when Browser and Notepad are working but not running/sending inputs to Windows and/or apps otherwise.

Process Explorer

Also: What other apps?

Likely a bit tedious to comb through all that is going on and there may be othre ways to discover what is ( or is not) happening with respect to the gesture requirements.

However, you must remember that even if the camera/FASST "sees" the camera provided gestures then Windows and other apps must be able to recognize and accept the resulting camera signals/code as input and also know how to respond. Windows at least passing the input through to the applicable app.

There are a couple of ways to look further but starting simple, for now, is best.

Just look. See what you can find. Do not change anything or start installing anything.
