About
The
Kinect for Windows
(K4W)
team release samples to show how to build applications and experiences using K4W. Our “Basics” samples are designed to quickly show a particular feature. Other samples are more robust and can serve as a template for building an app.
You will still want to download and install our SDK and Toolkit for the full developer experience but the code here is easy to browse and you can submit feedback about the samples right here on the site.
