Download Kinect for Windows SDK Beta

As expected in my previous blogpost Kinect SDK to be made available today ?, Kinect for Windows SDK beta is now available for download.

The SDK is available for free from Microsoft Research. The SDK includes not only drivers but also APIs, device interfaces, installer documents and resource materials. It’s another exciting milestone for a technology that has captured the imagination of millions, and has become the fastest selling computer electronics device of all time.

Download the SDK beta and all other details from http://research.microsoft.com/kinectsdk
