Kinect 2 server

Keywords: Depth Perception - Speech recognition - Gesture recognition - Kinect

Functional Description: The server written in C# uses the Kinect SDK v2 to get the RGBD raw image, skeleton tracking information, recognized speech. It also uses the text-to-speech from Microsoft. Then it streams JSON data over the network using the Publisher/Subscriber pattern from the ZeroMQ network library. A Linux client has been written in Python but it can be written in any other language that is compatible with ZeroMQ. Features are controllable through a Graphical User Interface on Windows, or through the code from any Linux/Windows client. The clients can for instance enable features (speech recognition on, skeleton tracking off, …) and parameters (set new speech to recognize, change language, …) from remote.
