I'm a student from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. And currently developing a project using Kinect SDK.

And my question is, anyone know how to develop a program to detect a finger (or fingertip) using Kinect SDK, or maybe even some possible reference codes. Anyway, I also tried to search on google, but the only reference I got is using Open NI, instead of Kinect SDK.

Thanks and Regards

I was looking into that myself, although haven't gone deep into it.

OpenNI has some constants for finger tip/wrist detection, but that's not implemented yet, but that's not an option for your setup anyway.

Here's a list of resources that hopefully will get you started:

MIT CSAIL hand detection

Forth ICS hand tracking
