Twin Cities Code Camp

The XBox Kinect device has become just as popular among programmers as it has among gamers. From air-guitar apps to user interfaces that resemble scenes from the movie Minority Report, programmers have been creating unique and innovative apps with the Kinect since it was released in late 2010. In this session we'll talk about how to develop Kinect-based apps for Windows 7 with managed .NET code. The session will cover the foundations of what you need to build Kinect apps such as drivers, libraries, detecting and focusing on a user, hand tracking, and simple gestures such as swiping and pushing. We'll also get in to applying these concepts to Windows technologies such as WPF and show live examples of Kinect being used in real apps for real-world scenarios.
