Private forum for kinect for windows developer preview

Hello all,
I received notification email from Microsoft regarding Kinect for Windows developer preview. In the beginning of the content, it is written:
"Until the program agreement is signed you cannot get access to the pre-release sensor, the SDK and documentation, or the private forum. Please check your junk or span folder. If you still are not able to locate the Docusign agreement please let us
know and we will resend it to you."
After checking my junk folder, I could not find any, so I replied the email asking to resend the document, I got email response suggesting me to use technical support in the private forum for 'Kinect for Windows developer preview'. But if I clicked the link,
I got message "no results were found". I think I still don't have access to the private forum.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you in advance.

Kinect forums are over here.

  • Which PC is recommended by Microsoft that ACTUALLY meet the requirements to work with software development for kinect for windows?

    My PC serves the minimum requirements described in the kinect page, but when installing the device, the software says that the computer does not meet the minimum requirements and therefore will not work with efficiency. Alternatively, theorize buy a new
    computer.
    Which PC is recommended by Microsoft that ACTUALLY meet the requirements to work with software development for kinect for windows?

    Getting a definitive answer from Microsoft will be difficult as to my understanding, requirements are still subject to change; and unless it's their brand of PC  I doubt they will give free advertisement to buy a specific make/model.
    There are other threads where people discuss specific machines that work with the Kinect V2.  
    The only compatibility problems I've had with getting it to work are: It has to be run Windows 8; It has to have a compatible USB 3.0;  The 'Compatible' USB 3.0 requirement seems to be the most difficult.

  • Support phone number or chat for Kinect for Windows v2? 3D Builder won't work

    I have a Dell Inspiron 5000, Xbox One Kinect and adapter for use of the Kinect sensor with a Windows PC.  The sensor works fine or as well as can be expected on the Xbox One.  I've tried using it with 3D Builder which is the first app that Microsoft
    offers for the Kinect with PC after connecting it and downloading the drivers.  Unfortunately, it says that my rate is too slow so I was looking for support to see if this is an Inspiron issue or not.  The USB 3.0 ports may or may not support the
    bandwidth but I can't really tell.
    Does anyone know if there is a support number or chat area for Kinect for Windows as I keep getting transferred to the Xbox group and no one there seems to know anything about Kinect for Windows?  I'll also settle for if anyone can tell me if there
    is a problem with that application or the Dell Inspiron 5000.
    Thanks,
    Reinaldo

    The technology 3D builder is using requires a very specialized graphics card to be able to work at full speed. Laptop systems typically only can achieve the very minimal amount of processing which will work but very slowly.
    If you have a desktop system with an NVidia GeForce GT 670 or other in the same processing class of GPU's you should be able to achieve 30fps. Otherwise with lower end or laptop based systems even the highest end Alienware we have seen ~27fps. My experiences
    have been typically anywhere from ~1-8fps with Intel Based on-board gpu's(4000 series), ~15-22fps with mobile NVidia GT 750M chipsets and 23-30fps with GeForce GT 760 desktop system.

  • Display problems in Microsoft Windows Developer Preview

    I'm using Firefox 10.0.1 in Microsoft Windows Developer Preview. The menu bar sometimes gets discolored or the colors get all mixed up while browsing, especially when switching tabs. I'm sure that all my drivers are up to date, graphics drivers are properly installed. Although the drivers are meant for Windows 7 but they should work on Windows Developer Preview (I guess?).

    Yes all drivers has been testet.
    The problems has occured on many nvidia drivers (including toshibas own), in many games and different directx versions.
    Sometimes the graphics is fine, but at other times there is a lot of green on the screen. Maybe it is a heat or overload problem?
    Is it possible to set the cooling fan to max rpm and always on? Just to see if that make any difference.

  • Where can I download example projects for Kinect for Windows v2?

    so for a project I am working on regarding the Kinect v2 I had initially planned on using Matlab to code for the Kinect. However, the code on the Mathworks website regarding the Kinect seems to only work with the Kinect v1 and I cannot figure out how to
    get the v2 to work with Matlab. Now I am in the predicament that I need to use Visual Studio and have never done so before. To make matters worse, all of the guides I can find about programming for the Kinect assume you are very familiar with Visual Studio
    so I get lost before I can even get through the setup (I have no idea what kind of project is best for Kinect, though I intend to use C# as my programming language, or where these settings they are changing are located). If I could just find an example project
    file to download I feel like it would help me a lot, but I cannot seem to find one.
    So my question is thus, is there a place where we can download project files for Visual Studio? I really just need to see what one looks like and what kind of settings it runs on so I know where to get started. It would be awesome if the project file involved
    overlaying the skeletal model on top of people in real time as well.
    If this is not possible, even a video that explains in depth how to go about using visual studio and the Kinect at the same time would be greatly appreciate, or a workaround to get Matlab to work with the Kinect v2.

    Hi Jicnon,
    When you download and install the Kinect SDK, it comes with the Kinect SDK Browser application. This applicaiton is a web based application that contains a bunch of sample projects for getting started with Kinect for windows programming.
    There is also the jumpstart videos here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8428671a-781c-4850-a56d-905ab28f8f8f/mva-jump-start-programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-videos?forum=kinectv2sdk
    To get to the SDK Browswer app just hit the windows button type in "Kinect SDK" and this application should appear.
    There are also some samples in Kinect Common Bridge and a dicussion on using Matlab here:

  • Expansion Card USB 3.0 for Kinect for Windows?

    I have bought the Kinect v2 Sensor for Windows and XBOX One + Adapter to try and program them on the PC. Everytime I connect them to the PC, the Kinect v2 Configuration Verifier shows me a warning that the USB Controller detected is supported but with
    unknown bandwidth. It may or may not be compatible with my hardware.
    Does anyone have any experience in regards to the USB Controller? I have also done all the Windows Update and now very confused because the Kinect won't deliver streams now.
    Note: I have read this https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/bb379e8b-4258-40d6-92e4-56dd95d7b0bb/confirmed-list-of-usb-30-pcie-cardslaptopsconfigurations-which-work-for-kinect-v2-during?forum=kinectv2sdk and bought and installed the Transcend
    PDU3, but it also shows me the same error message. Help is very much needed.
    Specs:
    Motherboard: Asus h81m-d plus
    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    RAM: 16 GB
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
    Graphics Processor: DirectX 11 capable

    There are no lights that appear on the sensor by just being plugged in. You will see an orange/white light on the adapter(white is a connected to pc indication). In device manager, do you see the Kinect driver loaded? Did you follow the steps in the trouble
    shooting guide and tried all available PCI Express slots?

  • Windows 10 to be free upgrade for first year for users of Windows Technical Preview?

    Hello, in article I have read that will upgrade to Windows 10 users for free Win 7 & 8.1. I want to ask how it will be with those who use a version of the technical prewiev. I will also have a free update?
    Thanks for the answers
    Vít Repka

    after 1 year if I do not want to purchase the upgrade, what happen to my computer, will go back to window 7?
    What do you mean?  You've already installed the Win 10 tech preview and you're wondering if it will automatically revert to the old software you were running some months ago after the trial period expires?
    LOL
    No.
    Your expired Win 10 preview will pop up an "expired" notice and become less usable.  Assuming it works like all other trial periods of Windows, it will limit its functionality and start shutting itself down every few hours.  If you
    want to revert it, it will be up to you to reinstall the old version.  And then can anyone guarantee that it will reactivate properly?
    Beyond that, and to the original point of this thread, what the mechanics will actually be for upgrading to Win 10 after its release on a system that was originally properly licensed for an earlier version of Windows are still not clear.  We'd like
    to hope that a product code for a legitimate licensed copy of an older version would just work to install Windows 10 from a DVD (ISO), but no doubt it will be more complicated than that.  It shouldn't be, but it almost certainly will be.

  • Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

    I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
    be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
    time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
    simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
    I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
    to here that as well.
    Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
    THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
    I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

    Hi Jicnon,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
    more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
    ,maybe you will get better support.
    In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

  • Kinect for Windows v2 vs Kinect for Xbox One

    I have found the official page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/meetkinect/features.aspx) that
    describes the hardware specifications for Kinect
    for Windows v2. But I cannot seem to find the hardware specification for Kinect
    for Xbox One. I just want to know if there is any difference in hardware specification between these two devices
    and if there are features, that are supported by the SDK 2.0 only for specific version?

    Actually there is one slight difference with IR, as found here:

  • I want to read the values of the inside accelerometer on Kinect for Windows v2 sensor.

    I had used the inside accelorometer on Kinect for Windows v1. So I want to use it for Kinect for Windows v2 application. However I can't find any function or method on Kinect for Windows SDK v2.0. But it is near the Ir camera of K4W v2. I found the Kionix
    chip. Do you have any plan to access this chip? 

    I just went through the slides of "Programming Kinect for Windows v2 Jump Start" of the MS Virtual Academy, and in slide #11 of slide deck #07 (Advanced Topics: Skeletal Tracking and Depth Filtering,
    http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-jump-start), it says:
    Align the y-axis to gravity
    –Tilt correct with
    FloorClipPlane.xyz
    •Falls back to accelerometer when no floor is found
    •Rotate
    scene such that “up” is (0,1,0)
    So, just to make sure I understand, you are saying that the information provided in the slide deck (and in the video) is erroneous and we cannot access the accelerometer info?    

  • New OC4J 10g (10.1.3.1) Developer Preview now available for download!

    A Developer Preview of the new OC4J 10g (10.1.3.1) release is now available for download.
    This developer preview release is fully J2EE 1.4 compatible and offers numerous enhancments, including full support for the final EJB 3.0/JPA specifications and Common Annotations (JSR-250) support in the Web container. It also provides a complete Web Services stack with support of JAX-RPC, annotations based development using JSR-181, and attachment support including MIME, DIME and MTOM with support of streaming for large documents.
    See http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/index.html for details.

    I've tried http://localhost:8888, but I get a "connection refused."
    I have since found the answer. The site http://localhost:8888/ will indeed work. The problem was that the java_home for oc4j was pointing to a Java Runtime Edition of 1.5.0, and so oc4j was not starting, since oc4j only works with 1.4.x.
    Still have the missing info from the readme, though.
