Kinect v2 Examples with MS-SDK

This is a set of Kinect-v2 (aka ‘Kinect for Xbox One’) examples that use several major scripts, grouped in one folder. The package contains over thirty demo scenes. Web | Forum | Twitter/X | Docs | Tips&Tricks The avatar-demo scenes show how to utilize Kinect-controlled avatars in your scenes, gesture-demos - how to use programmatic or visual gestures, fitting room demos - how to create your own dressing room, overlay demos - how to overlay body parts with virtual objects, etc. You can find short descriptions of all demo-scenes in the K2-asset online documentation. This package works with Kinect-v2 sensors (aka Kinect for Xbox One) and Kinect-v1 sensors (aka Kinect for Xbox 360). It can be used with all versions of Unity - Free, Plus & Pro. If you need a package with similar functionality, components and demo scenes that works with regular camera, please look at Computer Vision Examples for Unity. How to Run the Demo Scenes: 1. (Kinect-v2) Download and install Kinect for Windows SDK v2.0. The download link is below. 2. (Kinect-v2) If you want to use Kinect speech recognition, download and install the Speech Platform Runtime, as well as EN-US (and other needed) language packs. The download links are below. 3. (Kinect-v1) If you want to work with Kinect-v1 sensor, please download and install Kinect for Windows SDK v1.8. The download link is below. Please also look at this tip. 4. Import this package into new Unity project. 5. Open ‘File / Build settings’ and make sure that ‘Windows’ is the current active platform, and the architecture is set to 'Intel 64 bit'. 6. Make sure that 'Direct3D11' is the first option in the ‘Auto Graphics API for Windows’-list setting, in 'Player Settings / Other Settings / Rendering'. 7. Open and run a demo scene of your choice, from a subfolder of 'K2Examples/KinectDemos'-folder.

One request: My only request is NOT to share this package or its demo scenes in source form with others, or as part of public repositories, without my explicit consent. Troubleshooting: * If you get compilation errors like "Type `System.IO.FileInfo’ does not contain a definition for `Length’", you need to set the build platform to 'Windows standalone'. For more information look at this tip. * If the Unity editor crashes, when you start demo-scenes with face-tracking components, look at this workaround tip. * If the demo scene reports errors or remains in 'Waiting for users'-state, make sure you have installed Kinect SDK 2.0, the other needed components, and check if the sensor is connected. * For other known issues, please look here.
