Intel Real Sense SDK on Macbook M1 chip

[Rdnbt]

Hello, I have recently obtained Intel Real Sense R300 camera. I would like to use it on my macbook M1 laptop.
Is there any detailed walkthrough of installing the SDK on M1 devices?

Hi @Rdnbt Do you mean the SR300 camera? If so then you can install the RealSense SDK 2.0 on M1 Mac by using brew install librealsense:

Or instead by using the Lightbuzz guide:

If your camera model is R200 then RealSense SDK 2.0 is not compatible with it, unfortunately. The Legacy Librealsense SDK is cmpatible with it and has Mac installation instructions but it was designed for Intel-based coputers rather than M1.
