Kinect Us

The Kinect is an awesome piece of kit, however it has mainly been reserved for the Microsoft domain. Via ZeroMQ, this project attempts to open its connectivity to other platforms.

Requirements/Dependencies

You will need the Kinect SDK (v1.5) and the Speech SDK (v11) from Kinect for Windows

Planned Features

• Simple JSON string messages
• ProtoBuf or MsgPack messages for performance
• JSON structures for Colour
• JSON structures for Depth
• JSON structures for Audio
• JSON structures for Skeleton

Future Features

• Suggestions??
