Kinect SDK is a powerful kit designed for application developers and includes APIs, sample code, and drivers.
Kinect SDK enables the academic and enthusiast communities easy access to the capabilities offered by the Microsoft Kinect device connected to computers running the Windows 7 operating system.
Kinect SDK includes drivers, rich APIs for raw sensor streams and human motion tracking, installation documents, and resource materials. It provides Kinect capabilities to developers who build applications with C++, C#, or Visual Basic by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Note: This SDK is designed for non-commercial purposes only.

What's New in This Release:
The Kinect sensor’s infrared stream is now exposed as a new color image format. You can use the infrared stream in many scenarios, such as:
· Calibrating other color cameras to the Kinect’s depth sensor
· Capturing grayscale images in low-light situations
· Two infrared samples have been added to the toolkit, and you can also try out infrared in KinectExplorer. This provides developers with a wider spectrum of testing scenarios.
· Note that the sensor is not capable of capturing infrared streams and color streams simultaneously. You can, however, capture infrared and depth streams simultaneously.
Extended depth data:
· CopyDepthImagePixelData() now provides details beyond 4 meters; please note that the quality of data degrades with distance. In addition to extended depth data, usability of the Depth Data API has been improved (bit masking is no longer required). This means that applications will be able to read data beyond 4 meters when needed.
Color camera setting APIs:
· The col...
