Azure Kinect SDK (K4A)

Welcome to the Azure Kinect DK Sensor SDK! While devices and the Body Tracking SDK will be available this summer, we wanted to share the Sensor SDK now. We hope you can use this interim period to get familiar with our SDK, ask questions, and provide feedback. See Azure.com/Kinect for device info and available documentation.

Introduction

Azure Kinect SDK is a cross platform (Linux and Windows) user mode SDK to read data from your Azure Kinect device.

Why use the Azure Kinect SDK

The Azure Kinect SDK enables you to get the most out of your Azure Kinect camera. Features include:
