System Requirements

Programmers Guide

• 
  Show the color, infrared, depth, body index, and body sensor data
  
• 
  Capture images from the color, infrared, depth, and body index sensors
  
• 
  Replace the background behind people in the foreground with another image. This is similar to chroma key compositing or “green screen” processing.
  
• 
  Get the position and orientation of 26 different “joints” in up to 6 human bodies in both 3D space and on the screen
  
• 
  Gets the open/closed state of the hands of up to 6 humans in front of the sensor
  
• 
  Gets the lean angle of up to 6 humans in front of the sensor
  
• 
  Gets the position and orientation of the faces of up to 6 humans in front of the sensor
  

Programmers Reference

You will notice that three new objects now appear in the IntelliSense object list: KinectBodyList, KinectFaceList, and KinectWindow. All of the Kinect capabilities available in Small Basic are accessed through these objects. There are some capabilities in the Kinect sensor that are not available in the Kinect for Small Basic at this time which are available to developers who use Visual Studio and the full Kinect for Windows SDK.

All of the functions, properties, and events of the Kinect objects in Small Basic are documented with sample code which you can copy and paste into the coding window:

KinectWindow Object

The KinectWindow shows a visual representation of the data from the Kinect sensor.

KinectBodyList Object

The KinectBodyList is used to inspect joint positions of the human bodies that the Kinect sensor detects.

KinectFaceList Object

The KinectFaceList is used to inspect the position of facial features and expressions on the human bodies that the Kinect sensor detects.
