Microsoft Azure Kinect DK

Description

characterization

Relevant information

1-MP depth sensor with wide field of view and narrow field of view (FOV) options to help you optimize your application
7-microphone array for far-field voice and sound capture
12-MP RGB camera for additional color streams aligned with depth streams
Accelerometers and gyroscopes (IMU) for sensor orientation and spatial tracking
External sync pin makes it easy to synchronize sensor streams from multiple Kinect devices

To develop and build

Less than half the size of Kinect for Windows v2, Azure Kinect DK is designed to integrate the best AI sensors into a single device.

Application Areas

health orientation
