We are proud to present the first official release of the new CL NUI Platform which consists of an SDK, API and a stable driver for Microsoft’s new Kinect Hardware (Xbox NUI Audio, NUI Camera, NUI Motor and Accelerometer) devices on Windows machines.
The new CL NUI Platform now supports multiple Kinect devices!
You can download the latest copy here: http://codelaboratories.com/get/nui
NOTE: Before installing the CL NUI SDK, please make sure you uninstall any older drivers including the previous preview version of CL NUI Driver and/or libusb drivers.
Features in this release:
- Support for Windows XP/Vista/Win7 both x86 and x64
- Support multiple Kinect cameras
- Device serial number retrieval
- RAW, RGB24 and RGB32 Color frame data
- RAW, Corrected8, Corrected12 and RGB32 Depth frame data
- Full 30fps camera data streaming
- Reading of built-in Accelerometer x, y, z data
- Camera motor control
- Camera LED control
- Fully signed driver
- To get you started we have included sample source code written in C# as well as C/C++ SDK lib and header files

We are currently working on the upcoming CL NUI Audio component, although there are some potential issues related to DMCA so we will keep you updated. Thanks again and please feel free to share any code and/or videos of your projects build on CL NUI Platform. Also to make the CL NUI SDK better, we appreciate any feedback you might have while getting started.
Update:
-Fixed crashing issues on some systems
-Improved image stability
