- idonthack 16y agoA bit late, aren't they? https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect
- dgabriel 16y agoIt depends. If MS is offering a complete SDK, then it's a whole nother ball of wax... unless you're on a Mac or linux distro. IANAL, but I also assume there will be legal issues with distributing a commercial kinect app without the express approval of Redmond.
- ptorrone 16y agothe one we released (adafruit) with hector is open source, commercial use allowed. to use microsoft's you'll need to wait until they allow commercial use (from what is reported that's later in the year, maybe even 2012).
- joezydeco 16y agoWhy legal issues? If MS was thinking ahead, they'd freely let people sell apps using the sensor. It sells more Kinects. You could pretty much bootstrap a whole app ecosystem based just on the Kinect (on Windows only thankyouverymuch)
- xpaulbettsx 16y agoThis is awesome - at work, we didn't have any PC drivers for Kinect either (and we weren't allowed to use the OSS driver), we actually had to resort to rigging up an Xbox Dev kit whose sole job was to dump out the Kinect data over UDP to a PC.
- pkandathil 16y agopretty cool cant wait
- Bossman 16y agoAwesome. Thought about picking up a Kinect when the indie created SDK was coming out, but the official one should be awesome. Can't wait - even if my 360 is red ringed...
- hybrid11 16y agoanyone else planning on picking up a Kinect without owning a 360?
- catshirt 16y agoi own a 360 but haven't touched it in several months. bought my kinect 2 months ago. really just awesome to work with.
