Kinect Explorer - WPF C# Sample
Kinect for Windows 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8
Overview
When you run this sample, you see the following:
- The color stream, showing the video being captured, with the frame rate in the upper right.
- The depth stream, showing depth of people and objects in different colors. Darker shaders are farther from the sensor. Click the double arrow in the upper-left corner to swap the color and depth stream displays.
- The audio angle, which displays the audio properties (beam angle, source angle, and confidence). These are sliders that can be adjusted by the user.
- A series of buttons on the right side that are collapsed menus for adjusting color, depth, skeleton, and accelerometer settings. Click a button to display its associated menu.
| The Sample Uses the Following APIs | To Do This |
|---|---|
| KinectSensor.KinectSensors Property | Get the Kinect sensors that are plugged in and ready for use. |
| ColorImageFormat.RgbResolution640x480FPS30 enumeration value | Choose the color stream format, including the data type, resolution, and frame rate of the data. |
| ImageStream.FramePixelDataLength Property | Specify the length of the pixel data buffer when you allocate memory to store the color stream data from the sensor. |
| ImageStream.FrameWidth Property and ImageStream.FrameHeight Property | Specify the width and height of the frame data to use a WriteableBitmap to store/render the color data. |
| KinectSensor.Start Method and KinectSensor.Stop Method | Start or stop streaming data. |
| KinectSensor.ColorFrameReady Event | Add an event handler for the color data. The sensor will signal the event handler when each new frame of color data is ready. |
| ColorImageFrameReadyEventArgs.OpenColorImageFrame Method | Get a frame of color data in the event handler. |
| SkeletonFrame.CopySkeletonDataTo Method | Copy a frame of skeleton data to a pre-allocated array. |
To run a sample you must have the Kinect for Windows SDK installed. To compile a sample, you must have the developer toolkit installed. The latest SDK and developer toolkit are available on the developer download page. If you need help installing the toolkit, look on this page: To Install the SDK and Toolkit. The toolkit includes a sample browser, which you can use to launch a sample or download it to your machine. To open the sample browser, click Start > All Programs > Kinect for Windows SDK [version number] > Developer Toolkit Browser.
