Applications in the Wild
In this chapter, we’ll take a look at some applications built by developers in the PC Kinect app scene’s first year that demonstrate the functionality you can take advantage of in your own programs. As you install the applications on your own computer, consider how the developers have leveraged the capabilities of the Kinect to create a unique experience in their applications. In later chapters, it will be your turn to design an application, so use this chapter for inspiration.
