C++ Kinect SDK Usage Tutorial

There's a good number of .Net and C# Kinect SDK examples, but for C++ I'm not seeing as many. So when I saw this, even thought it's not in my native tongue, I knew it as a must share...

This Kinect C++ tutorial, while in Russian, is still weirdly easy to follow. I guess code really is the universal  language.

Kinect SDK usage in C++ applications - Complete Tutorial [RU]

I've just published a complete tutorial about usage of Kinect SDK in C++ applications (http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/cpp/123588/).

Tutorial is in Russian but source code is self-explanatory and, in case if you want to read the text, you can use Google Translate.

Also the source code (sample application and object-oriented helper library) is available for free download at Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/wxkinecthelper/).
