Kinect, which has sold over 10 million units worldwide, is an important device in digital training during 2011. Since its launch, there have been interested people who have tried to connect the device into PCs to experiment with new methods of interaction between human and machine.
Microsoft supported this trend by launching a SDK oriented to research in the mid of this year. Today, the future of Kinect cannot be more hopeful: it keeps going well in interactive leisure, it is a fundamental device for R&D projects, numerous companies have shown interest in commercial applications and Microsoft has announced that will release a new SDK for companies in 2012.
This lecture is for those interested in Kinect for any of the above reasons. They will present the foundations of the development applications with Kinect using XNA and SDK of Kinect for Windows. Likewise, they will analyze the information provided by the device and how to process it, they will also give practical examples and solutions to real and common problems.
