== Kinect for Windows SDK ==
This is the "official" development kit. Version 1.8 works with the "V1" sensor and works with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 . Version 2.0 is still in alpha, but you must use it to work with the "V2" sensor. Version 2 works only with Windows 8 and 8.1 . The V2 sensor also requires USB 3.0 with a "Renesas" chipset. 
Both SDK versions will give you access to raw depth data, color RGB, skeleton tracking, audio localization, and voice commands. Both include code samples in C++, C#, and even a few in HTML/JS.
Version 1.8, in addition, includes 3D scanning (under the name "Kinect Fusion") and a face tracking library. The scanning samples output STL files. Download the SDK here

and the code samples here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40277
Version 2 doesn't have the 3D scanning or face tracking in the current alpha release, but check back. Version 2 does come with the "Visual Gesture Builder" tool for making your own gesture recognizers. Download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43661
Both versions need Visual Studio. You can get a free (as in beer) version of Visual Studio here. You will want the "Windows Desktop" version.

= Where they live =
Two Kinect V1s are now plugged in to the public Dell Inspiron 1 computer. Libfreenect has been installed on the computer, but it doesn't yet see the Kinects properly. You can find the libfreenect source at /home/noisebridge/kinect-dev/libfreenect !
The Kinect V2 is in its box inside the desk holding the public Dell Inspiron 1 computer.

Update -- MC Hawking now lives at Sudo Room
= Where it lives =


The kinect is mounted on [[Noise-Bot|MC Hawking -- The Wheelchair Robot]], using hot-glue to hold it onto a piece of plywood.  The plywood is screwed to the frame of the LCD monitor which is part of the robot.
