Michael Crump, friend of the Kinect Gallery, gave a 40 minutes presentation on "Getting Started with the Kinect SDK" for which the video is now available online My presentation on “Getting Started with the Kinect SDK”I was informed that my presentation on “Getting Started with the Kinect…

Most Kinect examples are based on someone standing in front of the Kinect. But what if you can't stand? Today's project is unusual in that it focuses on using the Kinect and doing position and gesture recognition while you are seated... Sitting posture recognition with Kinect sensor... My article is…

Kinect for Windows SDK F# examples are pretty rare (we've only had one other so far, Kinect SDK and F#) so I wanted to be sure to get this one into the Gallery. It's short and sweet, but does a good job of showing off the power of F# when used with the Kinect. Kinect SDK with F#I finally got around…

Today's project is in the theme of getting started developing with the Kinect and Kinect for Windows SDK. There's been a few Gallery entries like this already (and there will be more in the future) and while they may appear duplicative, each author provides a different and unique point of view and…

Since we're on the topic of Kinect and education... Today's project puts educators and kids together, working with each other to build something special (and given its Kinect related, fun too) When Fish Fly - Pike Place Market Kinect Game Simulation Project... The U.S. event combined an exhibit of…
