Getting Started with Cinder and Kinect for Windows v2

  • Article

On July 15 in a Microsoft Virtual Academy Jump Start session, we will be covering using Kinect for Windows with third-party frameworks. While preparing for the talk, we found that there would be a bit of setup required that we would not have time to cover. So, we are putting together a couple of articles to help as a reference to get your development environment set up and configured.

If you are not familiar with Cinder or openFrameworks, these are popular open-source graphic frameworks focusing on native C++ development. Both are extensible through plug-ins called Blocks and Add-ons respectively and have extensive libraries for handling 2D and 3D graphics applications. The following articles will provide resources and steps needed to start developing a Windows application by using Kinect for Windows.

    I'm having minimal success with your OFX guide, could you perhaps elaborate with a more in depth video tutorial?

    Hi, I visited this page on 2014 and the PDF at that time demonstrated a way to use Openframeworks without add-on.Is that version still accessible?
