@aL_: I agree, I like the changes, although I'm personally not a fan of the capitalization for menu items. That said, if there's a way to customize the font for the menu items, I wonder how many people would actually make that change.

@Max: Thanks for replying, this may be causing issues with other folks too so I'm glad you posted it here!

@Eric: Do any of the other viewers work?

Thanks for your feedback, while we currently don't have UI guidelines for Kinect, that is something we will investigate adding in a future release of the Kinect.
Cheers,

@Dan: Hi Dan, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any UI guidelines for developing for the Kinect? I've had a look around but can't seem to find anything. Specifically I'm looking for minimum text size, button size etc. Have Microsoft produced any Guidelines/Standards for this?

@Zakkar: Is this a custom project or the built-in sample? If it's a custom project, you will need to Right click in Solution Explorer to add a new project and add the WPF Viewer project that is available in the samples or ships in the Kinect Explorer SDK sample.
Once you do that, drag and drop the KinectSensorChooser control onto the MainWindow design surface as shown in the video.

@ehsan rahim: The 1.5 release of the SDK, releasing in May, will include the ability to record video.
Here's a snippet from the blog post:
Among the most exciting new capabilities is Kinect Studio, an application that will allow developers to record, playback and debug clips of users engaging with their applications.

Instead of using a built-in button, I'd suggest instead building your own button control. We have an example user control of this on http://c4fkinect.codeplex.com under WPF/Controls/HoverButton. http://c4fkinect.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/72114#1215356
Hope this helps, - Dan
Sir this tutotial is really very helpful, what i wanted to ask is that how we can perform the button click function using the Hand Gesture.
Plz guide me about it.... -
I don't know of any way to have image data while tilting as its not exposed in the API. One option would be to move just a little, scan, then move again.
I tried to include the code for elevation control and notice that when the kinect moves (tilts), the image does not follow. The image gets updated only when the kinect completed its tilt. Is there anyway to have the image being updating while the kinect moves (tilts)? Thanks for the great tutorial and many helpful people giving solutions to problems.

@RenatoRibeiro: Go to the XAML view and ensure that the Sensor control is included.

@KimZe: Thanks for the feedback

The team has announced what's coming in the next version on their blog, and the next language packs coming are: French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. If you want to give feedback to the Kinect team, I'd suggest you do it directly on that blog post.
