Session Details
Introduction to the XBox Kinect SDK from Microsoft
Presentation
<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>
