Dr Rolf Lakaemper released a Kinect TCP related website aimed at saving the burden of programming in .NET
KinectTCP is a TCP/IP server that offers all video, depth and skeleton services of Microsoft’s Win7 Kinect SDK, independent from specific programming languages. kinectTCP allows programmers, who do not want to deal with windows specifics of libraries and languages, to utilize the Kinect using their language of choice, e.g. JAVA, BASIC, MATLAB, PYTHON, FLASH, C#,… kinectTCP runs under Win 7, but it frees the programmer from the necessity of using a .net environment.
