It is a small book for experienced developers. In my particular case, it is a great addition to my library. The first four chapters are still some what considered basic in my opinion but very useful. Especially if you haven't ever use the Kinect. Note that the book is all based in C# and WPF. While it is ok, I'm just a C++ Lover, so I wish everything was in C++.The real meat of the book starts in Chapter 5 in terms of gestures and postures.Also, the price of the book here in makes it extremely tempting to buy it. It is only 17.
How do I do multiple players? That's the one material I did not see covered but this is more then likely going to be covered in a new book. Overall, great book! I recommend for anyone looking for learning the basic of Kinect. It goes through everything in a detailed manner such as gestures and such.
The Kinect Toolbox framework has been very useful for me, yet the boo does not give much. It is an extended version of source code comments.
It's great and fun!! Learn and maximize experience with the Microsoft Kinect for hours and hours of fun!! Simply great!! Thanks!!!
