Updated for Kinect for Windows SDK v1.0!

This project requires the Kinect for Windows SDK.  If you want to learn how to use the Kinect for Windows SDK, head over to the Channel 9 and their quick start series. This toolkit contains both a WinForm and WPF version.

If there is a bug [report], a needed control/feature that could benefit everyone [chat], or you want to help out [email], please reach out to us!

Sample usage:

void sensor_ColorFrameReady(AllFramesReadyEventArgs e)
{
	using (ColorImageFrame colorFrame = e.OpenColorImageFrame())
	{
		if (colorFrame == null)
		{
			return; 
		}

		//set image
		ColorImage.Source = colorFrame.ToBitmapSource(); 

		if (_saveColorFrame)
		{
			//save image

			colorFrame.ToBitmapSource().Save(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") + "_color.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
		}
	}            
}

void sensor_DepthFrameReady(AllFramesReadyEventArgs e)
{
	using (DepthImageFrame depthFrame = e.OpenDepthImageFrame())
	{
		if (depthFrame == null)
		{
			return; 
		}

		//turn raw data into an array of distances; 
		var depthArray = depthFrame.ToDepthArray();

		MidPointDistanceViaGetDistanceText.Text = depthFrame.GetDistance(depthFrame.Width/2, depthFrame.Height/2).ToString();

		//image
		DepthImageWithMinDistance.Source = depthArray.ToBitmapSource(depthFrame.Width, depthFrame.Height,
																	_minDistance, Colors.Red);

		//image
		DepthImage.Source = depthFrame.ToBitmapSource();

		if (_saveDepthFrame)
		{
			_saveDepthFrame = false;
			depthFrame.ToBitmapSource().Save(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") + "_depth.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
		}
	}
}
