Raw sensor streamsAccess to raw data streams from the depth sensor, color camera sensor, and four-element microphone array enables developers to build upon the low-level streams that are generated by the Kinect sensor.
Skeletal trackingThe capability to track the skeleton image of one or two people moving within the Kinect field of view make it easy to create gesture-driven applications.
Advanced audio capabilitiesAudio processing capabilities include sophisticated acoustic noise suppression and echo cancellation, beam formation to identify the current sound source, and integration with the Windows speech recognition API.
Sample code and documentationThe SDK includes more than 100 pages of technical documentation. In addition to built-in help files, the documentation includes detailed walkthroughs for most samples provided with the SDK.
Easy and familiarThe SDK installs quickly, requires no complex configuration, and the complete installer size is less than 100 MB. Developers can get up and running in just a few minutes with a standard standalone Kinect sensor unit (widely available at retail outlets). Windows 7, Windows Embedded Standard, Windows 8 Desktop Apps C++, C#, or Visual Basic in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

SummaryKinect for Windows is not great in the majority of Use Cases; where it is good:• Hands-Free Control• Exercise, Physical Therapy, Education, Training• Data Visualization, 3D Modeling• Interactive Media, Retail, Digital Signage
The hardware, tools, plumbing and platform for Kinect for Windows Applications are powerful and available now.…and will just continue to get better, cheaper, powerful and more available
The concepts of Gesture and Voice Recognition change the way we design and build software in some Use Cases.…if the goal is better user experiences
