KINECT AZURE SOFTWARE
The Azure Kinect is used in volumetric capture workflows through the use of software tools that can connect many Azure Kinects into one volumetric capture rig, allowing users to create interactive virtual reality experiences with human performances. With the kit, developers can create applications connected to Microsoft's cloud and AI technologies. Using Azure Kinect, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and media enterprises are leveraging spatial data and context to enhance. While the previous iterations of Microsoft's Kinect primarily focused on gaming, this device is targeted towards other markets such as logistics, robotics, health care, and retail. Azure Kinect is a cutting-edge spatial computing developer kit with sophisticated computer vision and speech models, advanced AI sensors, and a range of powerful SDKs that can be connected to Azure cognitive services. The sensor is based on the depth sensor presented during 2018 ISSCC. The kit includes a 12 megapixel RGB camera supplemented by 1 megapixel- depth camera for body tracking, a 360-degree seven-microphone array and an orientation sensor.
It is the successor to the Microsoft Kinect line of sensors. The Azure Kinect DK is a developer kit and PC peripheral which employs the use of artificial intelligence sensors for computer vision and speech models, and is connected to the Microsoft Azure cloud.
