Hello friends,
we are going to map our Body gestures on Keyboard keys (i.e. Esc, left/
right arrow, F5) using Kinect.
But we dont know too much about Kinect and OpenNI,
so if any body know some thing please guide us how to start or if
possible please share your Code so we can understand and try to
implement in our project.

Thank you in advance..

I can recommend to you, to take a look into the OpenNI folders,
there is sourcecode to their samples. Espescially worth looking, in
my opinion,
is the user tracker.

You can see the:

1) the Kinect initialization
2) how to receive body points
3) a ready to use openGL framework

You could just create a shortcut to on screen keyboard and tell a
program to have a gesture to launch it or have a vb.net application
use my.computer.sendkeys method to pass keys to most applcations even
if they dont normally except keyboard input in every part of their
program.

faast would help with launching programs using gestures i found a
video that uses mouse fighter and faast together on youtube. mouse
fighter looks like it is connected to moving the mouse in the video.

I actually tried it application FAAST but they are not providing any
suggestion that how they implemented in his application.
and if you download you will get only .exe file no code file so you
can see and understand.

and I am newbie and this is my first Study project on Kinect.

Btw thank you...

I suggest you using C# + OpenNi + Nite + SendKeys from .NET it's
pretty easy once you get familiarized with the OpenNi and Nite APIs.

So i wrote up an instruction page on how to use FAAST and MF. It's in the zip file as well there is some images that show my setup and you can also take a look at my FAAST file and try using it.

Hope this helps!
