September 2014 Meeting

This month's topic:

Microsoft Kinect for Windows

Presentation description:

Kinect for Windows is more than just another fancy webcam and XBox One peripheral.  Kinect is a 3D scanner, a directional microphone, infrared camera, and a whole lot more.  This session will demonstrate the capabilities of the Kinect and show how easy it is to write your own custom applications.    We will also explore practical business uses of Kinect and learn how this is more than just a gimmick gaming device.
