Matlab cannot recognize kinect

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.

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?

What kind of Kinect is it?
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.
