Download Chant KinesicsKit 2026

Overview

Chant KinesicsKit introduces motion sensing support to PC developers looking for a natural user input. It is designed to handle many camera and sensor feeds to produce gesture or point-of-view data easily consumed by your application. It’s not a toy. You get low level access if needed, and higher level helpers if you’d rather not fight raw streams.

What this tool does

At the heart of Chant KinesicsKit is the workhorse for interacting with Kinect-style sensors. It requests color, depth, and body-tracking information. It also forwards audio-capturing and simple recording so that your media is timed with movement. In effect, you can access skeleton joints, depth maps, and pictures without creating plumbing from the ground-up.

How it works within a project

The kit reveals class libraries you can pluck into C++, Delphi, Java or .NET apps. Examples and viewer hardware are included so that you quickly examine color and depth streams, Verify sensor output, and construct test UIs. Send capture commands, stream audio to files and transmit body data to your apps through the included APIs. Supports a number of well-known IDEs including Visual C++. And RAD Studio and other 32-bit and 64-bit architecture

Main Capabilities

• Capture and Map color/depth and body tracking from a Kinect. Access raw frames to your code.
• capture and playback of audio streams along with sensor readings-perfect for testing and demos.

Bindings for languages and class libraries for C++, C++Builder, Delphi, Java, and the .NET to adapt to different tools.

• Viewer tools with sample projects demonstrating GreenScreen, TicTacToe and several others integration patterns so you could prototype quickly.
• NuGet packaging and developer-centric delivery channels to reduce dependency management complexity in the .NET toolchain.

Advantages for developers

You’ll also cut down the time you spend wrestling with kludgy raw sensor SDK. This library cleans up the inputs to the ones you care about. All of the samples do something that you can use, so your proof-of-concept demo can become real in the shortest possible time. And, since the kit integrates with a larger developer workbench, integrating speech, grammar, and profile tools is a snap whenever your prototypes need voice and motion.

Typical Scenarios

• A prototype of a gesture powered menu for a PC game or exhibit you can interact with through your own body movement.
• Create a green screen effect that layers a live color feed on top of backgrounds along with tracking players’ position.
• Design training/rehab applications that record joint motion and audio notes for post-reflection.
• Integrate with speech modules for hands free control that responds to both voice commands and gesture detection
• Leverage NuGet or the packages above so you can add motion input to your existing .NET applications without significantly modifying your build process.

Closing Notes

If you’re creating anything that needs to detect people, this kit provides you with usable components to start with. The kit is targeting Kinect-like workflows, so for applications using these sensors, you will notice above average functions and samples. While the learning curve is not 0, as soon as you wire the libraries into your IDE, the make and iterate process on new ideas increases and you can just start working on the gameplay, analytics or interaction design.
