Summary:

This book is a practical tutorial that explains all the features of Kinect SDK by creating sample applications throughout the book. It includes a detailed discussion of APIs with step-by-step explanation of development of a real-world sample application. The purpose of this book is to explain how to develop applications using the Kinect for Windows SDK. If you are a beginner and looking to start developing applications using the Kinect for Windows SDK, and if you want to build motion-sensing,speech-recognizing applications with Kinect, this book is for you. This book uses C# and WPF (Windows P
