You will have a working Kinect program by the end of the first chapter! The following chapters will open up the secrets of three-dimensional vision, skeleton tracking, audio through the Kinect, and more. Examples illustrate the concepts in the form of simple games that react to your body movements. The result is a fun read that helps you learn one of the hottest technologies out there today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeginning Kinect Programming with the Microsoft Kinect SDK\u003c\/em\u003e also provides building blocks and ideas for mashing up the Kinect with other technologies to create art, interactive games, 3D models and enhanced office automation. You'll learn the fundamental code basic to almost all Kinect applications. You'll learn to integrate that code with other tools and manipulate data to create amazing Kinect applications. \u003cem\u003eBeginning Kinect Programming with the Microsoft Kinect SDK \u003c\/em\u003eis your gateway\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003einto the exciting world of three-dimensional, real-time computer interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps you create a proper development environment for Kinect applications. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the basics of three-dimensional vision, skeleton tracking, gesture recognition, and audio \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides fun examples that keep you engaged and learning \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCreate a proper development environment \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWork with data streams from the Kinect sensor \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUse skeleton-tracking for interactive applications \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuild speech-aware applications \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDevelop simple, Kinect-based games for the PC \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLearn the underlying math involved in three-dimensional programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003eBeginning Kinect Programming with the Microsoft Kinect SDK\u003c\/em\u003e is for Microsoft developers who want to learn to program for the newest and coolest Microsoft input device. The book assumes familiarity, but not expertise, with WPF and C#. Developers will be able to use their current knowledge and experience with the Microsoft stack to build new types of applications that have never been possible before. Most of all, this book is for developers who want to go beyond simply creating data-entry applications and recapture the fun of creating software.         \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGetting Started with Kinect \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eApplication Fundamentals \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDepth Image Processing \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eKinect Skeletons \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Skeleton Tracking \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eKinect Gestures \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSpeech \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBeyond the Basics \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139380396272,"sku":"9781430241058","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430241058_p0.jpg?v=1763749820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430241058","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
