[Dark Drakan]

​

The rumours from some time ago have became reality and Microsoft have released the Kinect SDK for the PC fans to play around with and create mods with. ​

FEATURES​

​

Raw sensor streams​

Access to raw data streams from the depth sensor, color camera sensor, and four-element microphone array enables developers to build upon the low-level streams that are generated by the Kinect sensor.​

Skeletal tracking​

The capability to track the skeleton image of one or two people moving within the Kinect field of view make it easy to create gesture-driven applications.​

Advanced audio capabilities​

Audio processing capabilities include sophisticated acoustic noise suppression and echo cancellation, beam formation to identify the current sound source, and integration with the Windows speech recognition API.​

Sample code and documentation​

The SDK includes more than 100 pages of technical documentation. In addition to built-in help files, the documentation includes detailed walkthroughs for most samples provided with the SDK.​

Easy installation​

The SDK installs quickly, requires no complex configuration, and the complete installer size is less than 100 MB. Developers can get up and running in just a few minutes with a standard standalone Kinect sensor unit (widely available at retail outlets).​
