Question

Kinect sensor raises many events per second and if you are not very fast to elaborate them (for example trying to animate a true 3D character) in a few frames you get stuck.

What is the best approach to handle only the reasonable number of events, without blocking the User Interface?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I would suggest requesting the frame in a loop instead of using the event method.
To do this in your animation loop just call:

sensor.DepthStream.OpenNextFrame(millisecondsWait);

Or:

sensor.SkeletonStream.OpenNextFrame(millisecondsWait);

Or:

sensor.ColorStream.OpenNextFrame(millisecondsWait);

Event driven programming is great but when you run into problems like you mention it is better to just call the functions when you need it.
