• kinect allows to track bodies, leans, colors and so on
• But if you want to use functionality, which relates to face (emotions, face HD tracking etc.) you will need the second package – Kinect.Face.2.0.1410.19000.unitypackage.
• In order to start working with Kinect 2 SDK you need a Kinect 2 sensor
• If you have Kinect for Xbox One, you will able to buy a special Kinect adapter for Windows, which will allow you to connect existing sensor to PC. The adapter costs around 50 dollars, which is much cheaper than a new Kinect sensor. Because I already have Xbox One, I decided to buy adapter only.
• provides basic information about tracked people (up to 6) like skeleton information, leans, hand states etc.;
• AudioSource – allows to track a sound source from a specific direction;

  • 30 fps to 15 fps based on lighting
  • hand pointer gestures
  •  face
    • detection (outputs a bounding box around face, can be visualized in color or IR)
    • alignment (identifies 5 facial landmarks on the face, can be visualized in color or IR)
    • orientation (returns quaternion of the head joint)
    • expressions (provides classifiers for happy, left / right eye open, engagement, mouth open and mouth moving
