Hello!
Yesterday due to technical problems I could not perform the webcast on Kinect SDK V2, but that doesn’t mean stop writing about this. In todays post I’ll show the way to find the enabled capabilities of a Kinect V2 sensor.
KinectSDK publish a “KinectCapabilities” property to handle that information. For example the following code is responsible for inspecting this property once detected a sensor and opens when a feed of the same.
1: using System;
2: using Microsoft.Kinect;
3:
4: namespace KinectCapabilities
5: {
6: class Program
7: {
8: private static KinectSensor _kinectSensor;
9: static void Main()
10: {
11: Console.WriteLine("Press RETURN to start");
12: Console.ReadLine();
13: _kinectSensor = KinectSensor.Default;
14: if (null != _kinectSensor)
15: {
16: Console.WriteLine("Default sensor:" + _kinectSensor.KinectCapabilities);
17: _kinectSensor.Open();
18: Console.WriteLine("Sensor open :" + _kinectSensor.KinectCapabilities);
19: _kinectSensor.BodyFrameSource.OpenReader();
20: Console.WriteLine("Body open :" + _kinectSensor.KinectCapabilities);
21: }
22: Console.ReadLine();
23: }
24: }
25: }
This console running app shows the following:
As we can see, the option only changed from None to Vision (and believe me that I have tried with all the Sources). The official documentation promises us many capabilities which we hope will be available in the next update of the SDK
| Member | Value | Description |

And as always, the disclaimer
