And that you can use them to determine the position of incoming audio? Kinect Audio PositioningKinect has 4 microphones array to position the audio source using beamforming. We can get 2 angles from Kinect mic array, one is beam angle, another is estimated audio source angle. In this project KinectMicArray class, which derived from INotifyPropertyChanged, capture sound via Kinect mic array with background worker, get angles, expose properties and notify the change. These properties are used as WPF binding source to show angles of estimated sound source and beam dynamically.
