Tutorial Solutions

I have provided links for the Visual C# 2010 solutions for Tutorials 3 and 4.  Hopefully I will get time to finish writing the tutorial for Skeletal Tracking over the weekend and possibly begin the next tutorial.

I will upload the solutions for the future tutorials when they are published.

Converting Beta 2 to V1.0: RGB Video

I can imagine many of you suddenly found the V1.0 release for the Kinect SDK did not work with your code written for the Beta 2 version, I have started converting my code and thought I would share the key changes I have made.

Tutorial 3: Getting the Video Stream

The last tutorial was a bit boring, all we did was move the sensor up and down, this time we are going to get the RGB Video Stream from the Kinect Sensor and display it in our window.

Tutorial 2: Moving The Kinect Sensor

Right time to take control of Kinect.  In this tutorial we are going to initialise the Kinect Sensor and then increase and decrease its elevation angle before adding some nice simple debugging tools that will be useful in future tutorials.

Tutorial 1: Adding Kinect To A Project

Right now it is time to really get stuck into it.  Hopefully by now you have installed Visual C# Express 2010, XNA 4.0 and the Kinect SDK 1.0.  If not head to Tutorial 0: Setting Up For Kinect first.

Kinect SDK 1.0 Released

Well technically version 1.0 of the Kinect SDK was released yesterday.  Head over to Kinect for Windows Download for the latest SDK.
There are a few setup steps that will need to be completed if you have installed the SDK Beta 2.

Anyway now this has been released the first real Kinect tutorial will be out shortly.
