Project Description
Kinect Toolbox is a set of useful tools for developing with Kinect for Windows SDK (1.7).

It includes helpers for gestures, postures, replay and drawing.

Blog post about Kinect Toolkit gestures detection : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2011/07/04/gestures-and-tools-for-kinect.aspx

List of features:
  • Gestures
    • SwipeGestureDetector can detect the following gestures
  • SwipeToLeft
  • SwipeToRight
    • TemplateGestureDetector can record gestures in a learning machine and detect them later. Using this class, you can detect every kind of 2D gestures (letters, geometric shapes such as circle...)
  • Postures
    • PostureDetector can detect the following postures:
  • None
  • HandsJoined
  • LeftHandOverHead
  • RightHandOverHead
  • LeftHello
  • RightHello
  • Skeleton Stability
    • BarycenterHelper can indicate if a skeleton is static or is moving. This allows you to determine if you can launch gestures detection or not.
  • Drawing
    • SkeletonDisplayManager allows you to draw a skeleton frame on top of a WPF canvas:
    • GestureDetectors can draw recorded positions on top of a WPF canvas

  • Skeleton Record & Replay
    • Kinect Toolkit includes a set of replay classes that allows you to record and replay a kinect session. It is much easier to debug and develop when you don't always have to stand up :)
  • Streams
    • ColorStreamManager & DepthStreamManager help you to draw Kinect streams content
  • Misc.
    • BIndableNUICamera allows you to bind the elevation of the Kinect camera in a WPF application
