Speaking Sessions

  • Introduction to the XBox Kinect SDK from Microsoft

    9:45 AM Saturday   Room: 5502
    <p>This demo-rich session will cover some of the core APIs and development patterns used to develop natural user interfaces with the XBox Kinect SDK. After a brief introduction to the Kinect sensor hardware and API architecture we will cover the Skeleton Tracking API, the Voice Recognition API and the Depth Data API. If time permits we will also take a look at some of the exciting third-party libraries that are being created and shared every day.</p> <p>Kinect has something to offer to everyone - even if you're not a game developer there are lots of things Kinect can do to make any application richer and more exciting to use.</p>

  • An Introduction to The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) in .NET 4

    10:45 AM Sunday   Room: 4302
    <p>The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is one of the coolest and most exciting new features of .NET Framework 4. It allows application developers to discover and use extensions at runtime with no configuration files required. MEF also lets extension developers easily encapsulate code and avoid fragile, hard dependencies resulting in more modular and maintainable/testable applications.</p> <p>This demo-rich session will teach you exactly what MEF is, how simple it is to use, give you a few tricks for getting the most out of it while avoiding common pitfalls and introduce you to pre-existing frameworks that make creating MEF based applications a breeze. You will also learn several specific - and surprisingly simple - methods for retrofitting your existing code to harness the powers of MEF.</p>
