Kinect Studio

Kinect Studio is a utility app on the development computer, used to preview sensor data, record and play Xbox Event File (XEF) files, control the timeline position, and select 2D or 3D view. KStudio APIs enable you to develop custom tools on the devkit and on the development PC, to record and play back skeleton data using XEF files.
