Throughout my time investigating the SDK, I have managed to build up a library of Kinect Applications. I realise that some of these have been way back in June and In order for you to find them it might be a little tricky. This is why I have compiled a page of all of the applications. You can now scroll down and find the blog entry, the files and the description of what the program does!
Feel free to download and use these but please ask before hosting the file in other places. I’m always keen to see how the programs are being used by others.
Some of these files were built in beta 1 and you may have to adjust them to work with BETA 2, however they still run fine with BETA 2 and have been tested.
