What is Movement Management?
Movement management enables you to:
- capture image data and detect movement,
- map and process movement data for application processing,
- persist movement data for playback, editing, and analytics, and
- integrate sensor device configuration and control as part of deployed applications.
Applications benefits include:
- touch-free modality for control and input,
- added flexibility to run on demand based on movement detection, and
- expanded deployment scenarios for interactive processing in non-traditional application environments.
What is KinesicsKit?
Chant KinesicsKit handles the complexities of tracking movement with Microsoft Kinect for Windows.
It simplifies the process of managing movement with Kinect sensors and the Microsoft Natural User Interface API (NAPI). You can process audio and visual data to map movement directly within software you develop and deploy.
KinesicsKit includes C++, C++Builder, Delphi, Java, and .NET Framework class library formats to support all your programming languages and sample projects for popular IDEs—such as the latest Visual Studio from Microsoft and RAD Studio from Embarcadero.
he class libraries can be integrated with 32-bit and 64-bit applications for Windows platforms.
Movement Management Architecture
KinesicsKit tracks and maps movement with Microsoft Kinect for Windows.
KinesicsKit enables applications to start and stop colour, depth, body, and audio data collection with Microsoft Kinect sensors. Applications use it to manage low-level functions if desired.
With the KinesicsKit, applications detect movement, process colour, depth, and body data, and record audio to a file. Applications use KinesicsKit to manage the activities for interacting with the Microsoft Kinect sensor. KinesicsKit manages the resources and interacts directly with the Natural User Interface API (NAPI) runtime.
Applications receive status notifications through event callbacks.
Speech recognition and synthesis are supported with the SpeechKit. See SpeechKit for more information about integrating speech technology.

KinesicsKit encapsulates the NAPI functions to make the process of tracking movement with Microsoft Kinect sensors simple and efficient for your application.
KinesicsKit simplifies the process of managing Microsoft Kinect sensors by handling the low-level activities directly with the sensor.
Applications instantiate KinesicsKit before tracking movement and destroy it to release its resources when tracking is no longer needed.
Feature Summary
Chant KinesicsKit handles the complexities of tracking movement with Microsoft Kinect for Windows. The class libraries minimise the programming efforts necessary to construct software that maps movement from image and positional data captured by cameras.
With KinesicsKit you can:
- Capture and map colour, depth, and body data;
- Record and playback audio files; and
- Integrate movement tracking with speech technology.
Within Chant Developer Workbench, you can:
- Render and analyse colour, depth, and body data; and
- Validate sensor image streams.
