Kinect for Windows SDK - Microsoft Research
Kinect for Windows gives computers eyes, ears, and a brain. With Kinect for Windows, businesses and developers are creating applications that allow their customers to interact naturally with computers by simply gesturing and speaking. More good news for developers: with the summer (northern hemisphere) 2014 launch of the Kinect for Windows v2 sensor and SDK, you will be able to start creating Windows Store apps with Kinect.

Introduction to OpenKinect and as3Kinect This article functions as an introduction to building OpenKinect and as3kinect projects. This is the first in a series of articles on this topic. This opening article attempts to answer the following seven questions:What is Kinect, and what can it do?When and how did OpenKinect get started?What is libfreenect? Multimedia- ASUS Xtion PRO LIVE Multiple sensing functions to make development easy The Xtion PRO LIVE uses infrared sensors, adaptive depth detection technology, color image sensing and audio stream to capture a users' real-time image, movement, and voice, making user tracking more precise. The Xtion PRO LIVE development solution comes with a set of developer tools to make it easier for developers to create their own gesture-based applications without the need to write complex programming algorithms. 1. Gesture detection: The Xtion PRO LIVE development solution tracks people's hand motions without any delay, which turns your hand into a controller. It has more than 8 predefined poses to allow you to push, click, circle, wave and much more– perfect for use controlling a user interface.

What you Need Hardware A standalone Kinect, with power supply (this comes as standard when purchased as a standalone), if you buy it as part of an Xbox bundle you will need to buy an additional cable sold separately to connect it to the PC. I bought my Kinect from a local gaming store for Euro139.

Connect Kinect to PC Using PrimeSense Drivers - OpenKinect Hi I was confused with different instructions for connecting Kinect to PC. Actually I couldn't install OpenKinect drivers, but I come up with an instruction 4 Dummies! :D I would be glad if somebody makes something like this for OpenKinect. Sajjad iPad apps run on your iPhone 4 The wonders of jailbreaking – the good people over at Apple might not approve, but they certainly cannot stop you from doing so to your iPhone 4 if you feel like it. After all, only a jailbroken iPhone 4 is able to run iPad apps on your beloved smartphone, thanks to a new easy-to-use tool that was conjured by a bunch of hackers. This is by no means a groundbreaking piece of software, but to know that your iPhone 4 can run iPad apps?

People This page lists the people currently involved in the OpenKinect community and development effort. If you're starting a new project or working on a particular new feature, check here to make sure someone else isn't already working on it! Joshua Blake (JoshB) is the OpenKinect community founder and lead. He is responsible for bringing together everyone interested in OpenKinect and tries to coordinate the project's efforts and the people who work on them. He also serves as a point-of-contact between the OpenKinect community and other projects, companies, and the general public.

kinect_calibration/technical Description: Technical aspects of the Kinect device and its calibration Tutorial Level: ADVANCED Authors: Kurt Konolige, Patrick Mihelich Imager and projector placement One Year Anniversary For the Kinect, Over 10 Million Units Shipped, A Game Changer in the World of Entertainment - buildsmartrobots The Microsoft Kinect was released in the US on November 4, 2010. It was hacked on November 10, 2010. For the one or two people on the internet who have not heard about the Xbox Kinect, it is a interactive gaming device for the Microsoft Xbox gaming system. The heart of the Kinect is 3D sensor technology from Primesense. Primesense 3D sensing technology is illustrated above.

The Kinect for Windows sensor : - An RGB camera that stores three-channel data in a 1280 x 960 resolution at 12 frames per second, or a 640 x 480 resolution at 30 frames per second. This makes capturing a color image or video possible. - An infrared (IR) emitter and an IR depth sensor. The emitter emits infrared light beams and the depth sensor reads the IR beams reflected back to the sensor. The reflected beams are converted into depth information measuring the distance between an object and the sensor. This makes capturing a depth image possible. - A multi-array microphone that contains four microphones for capturing sound. Because there are four microphones, it is possible to record audio from a specific direction, as well as find the location of the sound source and the direction of the audio wave. - A three-axis accelerometer configured for a 2G range, where G is the acceleration due to gravity. by userexperience Jan 23

The Kinect for Windows sensor also includes Near Mode, which enables the sensor’s camera to see objects as close as 40 centimeters in front of the sensor without losing accuracy or precision, with smooth degradation out to 3 meters. by userexperience Jan 23
