The Kinect for Windows SDK beta will include drivers, rich APIs for raw sensor streams and human motion tracking, installation documents, and resource materials. It provides Kinect capabilities to developers who build applications with C++, C#, or Visual Basic by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
The limitations for the Kinect for Windows SDK include:
* This is Windows 7 only, for now at any rate
- Its use is limited to non-commercial and academic usage
