Thank you very much for this, got a kinect for this very reason, looking forward to all the extra gestures that you keep packing in... Keep up the good work.

I bought a kinect hoping that there will be a program to control the desktop with. My ideal purpose was to be able to lay in bed, hook up my computer to the T.V and browse my media via kinect while I'm in bed. However there is no such software just yet but this program you got posted sure looks handy but I can't seem to get it working. Does it matter what version XBMC is running? the one I am using looks different to the one on the video.

It seems to me like the simplest possible thing would to be just to track the users hand as if it were a mouse pointer, like the menu does in the game "Kinect Adventures".

Yeah, but that still isn't accurate enough for finger tracking. If you have tried my program you can run a primesense sample app at C:\Program Files\Prime Sense\NITE\Samples\Bin\Release\Sample-PointViewer.exe to see a live depth stream. Only thing possible at an acceptable distance would be hand gestures like open/close and alike. Haven't got the 1280x1024 resolution to work though, that could make an interesting difference, if it works for the depth image too that is, which i'm not sure of.
edit: Working on the C++ version for live as we speak btw. Not much progress so far.

Hello, I'am sorry if my english is bad, i'am french,I am very excited about your work on KINECT, I have KINECT and tried to duplicate all this with XBMC, i success but I managed the software was totament uncontrollable since XBMC recognizes me as well KINECTS controller but it does not recognize my hand so I can not do anything, you have a solution?
PS: I 'am Windows 7 32 bits.
