Yes it is - but I think it is only a matter of time.

From what I have read the built in audio system of the Kinect is really good - 4 mics and some impressive noise canceling.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion.

Wanilton has sent the correct link.
When you are ready download the install notes *.pdf (Same link)
Make sure you install the files in the sequence shown

Here is th link regarding the comment about the Audio driver

Hi,

Just thought I would let you know that I have got my Kinect and installed it.
Control of XBMC does work - but needs some practice.

Just in case it helps.

Downloaded and installed (Without connecting the Kinect)
a). OpenNI Framework
b). Sensor driver
c). NITE Middleware

Then I connected the Kinect and Windows then installed the drivers.
However it does not install the Audio driver - checked on the KinEmote forum and this is expected behavior.

Then installed the KinEmote software.

Best wishes.

Hi,

Jonsel answered my question on XMBC - No Games Console needed.

Let me know if you are still on for the challenge and I will donate.

I am out and about at the moment - but will get to it as soon as I can.

Best wishes.

Hi,

I must confess - I had assumed that you could just plug it in a windows computer and install the drivers. Perhaps we should just double check that before we move on.

Yes - Windows only is understood.

Best wishes.

Hi,

I am so impressed with what you have done with VoxCommando.

What would you think if I made my donation = the cost of Kinect only.

Would that stir you to looking into it?
This offer would not obligate you in any way - just a promise that you would try.

Best wishes.

Hi,

I noticed that you posted on XMBC recently asking if you could collaborate on adding KinEmote functionality to VoxCommand.
I could definitely see some advantage in using both.
VoxCommand to get to a screen view "Show Movies"
KinEmote to scroll through the list.
VoxCommand to switch on/off Kinect or at least stop it from actioning unwanted commands.

Any thoughts on this moving forward?

At the moment I am a Mac user -> Plex. But VoxCommand has made me think about getting a Windows box and trying XBMC with VoxCommand.
Once I am up and running I will definitely down load VoxCommand and Donate - looking through your site and videos - I think 20 Dollars is well worth the effort you have put into this project.

Just had a thought - I could virtualize my Mac Mini :-)

Best wishes

James.
