Augmented Reality project for virtual dressing room

I'm doing a project on Augmented Reality which the final target is to implement a virtual dressing room. I'm also hoping to use Kinect device to get the motion of the body and map the dress on the body. The thing is I don't know how to start and don't know anything about Kinect api. Can you guys help me to get my hands wet on AR with Kinect device.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • There are lot of resources available on Kinect Development. First you need to decide, What you are developing for Kinect for XBox or Kinect for Windows. (Here I'm assuming you are targeting windows)

    Visit Official site for Kinect Developers, here you will find everything - Documentation, SDK and lot of Samples to get you started.

    Set up a development environment in 2 steps:

    1. Install Kinect for Windows SDK.( the download includes APIs and device interfaces.) Download
    2. Download and install Kinect for Windows Developer Toolkit.Download

    Channel9 has a Kinect Quickstart Series, you can follow these videos and they will show you everything you need to know about Kinect, from setting up development environment to using advance tracking features of Kinect.
