Hopefully your machine will have green ticks against everything – in my system, I don’t have a Kinect connected yet – therefore the “Kinect Connected” test has failed, as has the “Verify Kinect Depth and Color Streams” test. If you click on Run, you’ll see a screen like the one below.Īfter a few seconds, this should change to a screen like the one below: You can see at the top of the list, there’s a component named “Kinect Configuration Verifier”, which has a “Run” button on the right hand side. If you start this up, you’ll see a screen something like the one below. You can search for this through the Windows Start menu.
#Kinect sdk install#
The install is pretty straightforward, and if it successfully installs it will finish on the screen below:Īt this point, it’s possible to load up the verification tool – there will be a new Windows app called “SDK Browser 2.0 (Kinect for Windows)”.
The first thing you’ll be challenged to do is to accept the licence agreement and click Install. When the SDK has downloaded, you double click on the executable to start the installation process. The SDK is freely available for download from this link. Step 1: Download the Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 Fortunately it was good enough, but it could have been an expensive mistake if I bought the adapter and found my machine wasn’t up to the job. This ships is a tool which analyses your PC for compatibility, and would have told me if my PC wasn’t good enough. If I were starting this process again, I would install the SDK ( available here) before purchasing the Kinect Adapter. There were some other system requirements listed at this link.
#Kinect sdk software#
Installing the Kinect Software SDKĪs I mentioned above, my Kinect wouldn’t connect to a PC directly, it needed to go through an adapter. I want to write about my experiences – as usual, things didn’t work quite as smoothly as I’d have liked! Hopefully my experiences will be useful to someone else out there. I knew that the Kinect for the XBox 360 wasn’t compatible with my PC, and that there’s actually a separate Kinect for Windows device – but after a little research, I found that the Kinect for the XBox One could work with a PC, as long as it was connected through an adapter. I don’t have any games that really use the XBox One, and with some of the refinements to the console operating system, I’ve found it to be easier to use the gamepad than to use voice commands.
NET, it occurred to me that I actually had a pretty amazing set of sensors sitting unused – the Kinect device from my XBox One.

#Kinect sdk how to#
I tweeted about my first application over here and I am still learning about the Kinect SDK API’s and how to use them in different ways. I started developing application with Kinect SDK almost 2 months back, from the day when I received my Kinect Device. The SDK provides capabilities to the developers who build applications with C#, VB or C++ with Visual Studio 2010 which is running on Windows 7.
#Kinect sdk drivers#
The Kinect for Windows SDK beta includes drivers that interact with H/W and provides an interface to interact with device, APIs for interacting with Camera, Sensors, microphone and Motor. This SDK provides a fantastic interface to interact with Kinect programmatically. The Kinect SDK is a developer toolkit for developing applications.
