Ready to learn Kinect programming? Start Here!
Learn the fundamentals of programming with the Kinect™ API—and begin building apps that use motion tracking, voice recognition, and more. If you have experience programming with C#—simply start here! This book introduces must-know concepts and techniques through easy-to-follow explanations, examples, and exercises.
Here’s where you start learning Kinect:

• Build an application to display Kinect video on your PC
• Have Kinect take photographs when it detects movement
• Draw on a computer screen by moving your finger in the air
• Track your body gestures and use them to control a program
• Make a program that understands your speech and talks back to you
• Play a part in your own augmented reality game
• Create an "air piano" using Kinect with a MIDI device
