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.

NuGet package: http://nuget.org/List/Packages/KinectToolbox

List of features:

Gestures

• SwipeGestureDetector can detect the following gestures
  1. SwipeToLeft
  2. SwipeToRight
• TemplatedGestureDetector 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

• AlgorithmicPostureDetector can detect the following postures:
  1. None
  2. HandsJoined
  3. LeftHandOverHead
  4. RightHandOverHead
  5. LeftHello
  6. RightHello

• TemplatedPostureDetector can record postures in a learning machine and detect them later. Using this class, you can detect every kind of 2D postures (letters...)

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

Voice Commander

• Voice Commander can use a list of words and raise an event when it detect one of them (using the microphone array of the sensor)

Misc.

• BIndableNUICamera allows you to bind the elevation of the Kinect camera in a WPF application
