I am new to web development. Can I get some pointers on how can I develop a kinect application in web browser?
Ideally it should be cross platform. I don’t want to use paid third party plugins like Zigfu.

Accessing Kinect via a browser requires the user to install some kind of service on your client (PC or Mac). This service would then expose itself via the TCP networking stack so a browser-plug in can call back to it on the local host. Flash or Silverlight will use TCP natively. If you want to use HTML5 you can expose this service using web sockets or an AJAX-style service returning JSON data.
All-in-all it’s a complicated solution that will never be globally supported for websites as there is no consistent user-experience in getting people up and running with the hardware/service/installer. I would only use this in controlled envrionments; and instead look at rich client apps for a better Kinect experience.
