Kinect体感互动开发学习资源

Posted on August 4, 2015 by TangoChen

下面我列举一些供体感互动开发者学习的资源网站:

  • yangecnu的博客
    Kinect 1代,很详细,即便要学Kinect v2,也可以从1代的教程受益不少。
  • Kinect 2 Hands On Labs (英文)
    Kinect二代的上手开发教程。
  • Vangos Pterneas的博客 (英文)
    很感激Vangos Pterneas!以前买Xbox 360 + Kinect一代,就是想尝试能不能自己开发,不能就当游戏机玩了。
    结果网上搜到寥寥无几的开发资料,其中就是他的文章,是他公布的示例代码把我带入体感开发这个领域。
  • 小明编程
    不止Kinect的学
