Kinect integration for NeoAxis Game Engine. Now compatible with Microsoft Kinect 1.0 SDK.

The KinectInputDevice is based on the Microsoft Kinect 1.0 SDK. You need Windows 7 to install the SDK/driver.

The InputDevice:

GameCommon/KinectInputDevice.cs (Initialization and data acquisition from Kinect)

Sample:

Instructions:

1) Make sure you have installed Microsoft Kinect 1.0 SDK (or higher).
2) Set your project properties to use .NET Framework 4.0
3) Add a reference to "Microsoft.Kinect.dll"
4) Add "KinectInputDevice.cs" to your project
5) Add "KinectExample.cs" to your project
6) Initialize the device with "KinectInputDevice.InitDevice(bool usePlayerData)", e.g. in your "GameEngineApp.OnCreate()" method. "usePlayerData" is a flag wether to display tracked user in the depth map as colorized pixel or not. Using this feature will decrease depth map resolution from 640x480 to 320x240.
7) To use the device, override the "OnCustomInputDeviceEvent(InputEvent e)" method. Cast the InputEvent to "KinectSkeletonDataInputEvent", located in the class "KinectInputDevice". You will receive an array of SkeletonData types. Take a look into the Kinect SDK documentation for further information about SkeletonData.
8) To use the depth map, see KinectExample.cs of how to get depth map into NeoAxis texture.
9) To manipulate the camera elevation angle, access the instance of KinectInputDevice and use the methods "IncreaseAngle" and "DecreaseAngle".
