The latest Kinect for Windows SDK is here

  • 發行項

Yes, it’s the moment many of you have been waiting for: Kinect for Windows SDK 1.7 is available for download! We’ve included a few photos of the key features: Kinect Interactions and Kinect Fusion. Or if you’re a developer, you can download the SDK and get started immediately. 

A woman demonstrates the new Kinect Interactions, which are included in the Kinect for Windows SDK 1.7: counter-clockwise from top left: “push” to select, “grab” to scroll and pan, and wave to identify primary user. Two-handed zoom (top right) is not included but can be built with this new SDK.

Kinect Interactions are designed to let users intuitively do things like press their hand forward a few inches to push a button, or close their hands to “grip and pan” as seen here. Now you can untether yourself and move around a conference room naturally.

Kinect Fusion, a tool also included in Kinect for Windows SDK 1.7, can create highly accurate 3-D renderings of people and objects in real time.

Kinect Fusion makes it possible to create highly accurate 3-D renderings at a fraction of the price it would cost with traditional high-end 3-D scanners.

    So do see the 'Interaction' portion of the SDK to become a 'Gesture' engine over time?  Will it become more full blown (custom gestures, or at least more types of interactions supported)?  Or do you see 'Gestures' and 'Interactions' as 2 different concepts? Any plans on updating the facial tracking to also include facial recognition.  Face recognition isnt trivial, but something I imagine the engineers at MS could solve with a lot better precision (and quicker) than most average developers, and the possibilities it would open up would be huge...just a thought.

    @Guest: The Kinect Interactions, specifically press and grip, are in fact gestures. Combined with the hand cursor tracking manipulations and your UI, you can create a variety of interactions. I can't speak to what the K4W team is planning, but what they have shipped is not a generic gesture recognition engine. Gesture design takes a lot of work to get right, and it's best to consider your specific scenario if you need to design a gesture recognizer besides any of the gestures (grip/press) provided with Kinect Interactions.

    @Alvaro @Kovanatera: The Kinect for Windows SDK supports Windows 8, and you can use a Kinect for Xbox for development only, with the full SDK installed. When you distribute your application to end users, they will need the Kinect for Windows sensor. For that reason, you should also plan to get a Kinect for Windows sensor so you can test with identical hardware.

    I would also like what Beaver_2 is asking for. I am not a C developer, but would really like to take advantage of the touch-like interface in my apps shown in that video. I really want to be able to use that but the SDK only has samples for use in programming, not a driver that I could just install. Does this exist? If not, please put it out there! I would love to have this for win7 and 8.
