How to click a button and use a hand as Cursor in KinectThis is my first article for the year 2013, am still excited about Microsoft Kinect for windows sdk. In this article i will answer some of the questions asked to me after I published the previous article. This article will focus on the Cursor and selected and Clicking the Buttons in a Kinect application. In this article I wanted to show you on how to use your hand a cursor to move to certain buttons and click those buttons and respond to events on those button.   Article based on   My daughter is 2 years old and while I was playing around with Kinect I realized that I can create an application that can educate her on a lot of things. The idea started by having images of fruits and when a button is selected or clicked, I will play an audio or mp3 saying the name of the fruit. I was not going to record myself, so I goggled and found a nice site that did text to speech http://ctrlq.org/listen/  I converted all my text to mp3’s and the voices are clear.  Now the game will have various buttons representing a fruit and also there is a hand that will be used as a cursor when the First skeleton is detected or the first person is detected on our game.   Final Output of our Application   Project Information URL: http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article2091-how-to-click-a-button-and-use-a-hand-as-cursor-in-kinect.aspx Project Source URL: http://www.dotnetfunda.com/UserFiles/ArticlesFiles/Vuyiswamb_Articles_634926411267159453_WpfApplication1.zip Contact Information: Blog: http://www.dotnetfunda.com/, http://www.dotnetfunda.com/profile/vuyiswamb.aspx en Fri, 24 May 2013 09:06:33 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 09:06:33 GMT Rev9
