Tutorial 0: Setting Up For Kinect

Welcome to the first post in a series of guides to help you get off the ground with Kinect and XNA.  In these guides you will learn how to get Kinect installed on your Windows machine through to making your first Kinect game using XNA.  

If you game here wanting XNA tutorials and you do not have a Kinect device do not worry, my plan is to create the game first, then add the Kinect interface so that all the bases are covered. 

Welcome to Kinect XNA

Welcome to this blog which is going to cover the basic use of XNA and Kinect.  I created this blog as I too used to look for XNA Tutorials to help me with something and to even get started so I know they can be useful.  With the Kinect SDK almost released I thought it might some guidance for those interested in programming games or Kinect.

I aim to start by covering the basics of getting everything installed to actually creating a game and integrating other elements including physics.

Just a quick intro and I have posted the first tutorial, although it does not really cover a lot as I am about to head out.
