I just got a Kinect and I have it connected to the computer using the USB. However, I don't know how to make the kinect tilt upwards so it is not looking downwards at the desk.
The question becomes. Is there a program to control such settings? I have installed Microsoft Kinect 1.0 Beta 2 SDK.
Here is some good tutorials on kinect motor :
