 Diligent Engine: A Modern Cross-Platform Low-Level Graphics Library
This article introduces Diligent Engine, a modern cross-platform graphics API abstraction library and rendering framework
This article describes Diligent Engine, a light-weight cross-platform graphics API abstraction layer that is designed to solve these problems. Its main goal is to take advantages of the next-generation APIs such as Direct3D12 and Vulkan, but at the same time provide support for older platforms via Direct3D11, OpenGL and OpenGLES.

Who are we? Microsoft Open Technologies DX Kinect for Windows

4 Working in the open for and with Creative devs
ANGLE project openFrameworks openCV Cinder Boost, Cmake Bullet Box2D Cocos2D-x And more…

6 Introducing Kinect for Windows v2
What’s new?

7 16-bit IR intensity value Ambient light removed
InfraredFrameSource 512 x 424 array of pixels 30 fps 2 bytes per pixel 16-bit IR intensity value Ambient light removed From the same physical sensor as depth Not heat – different frequency People have used this for: night vision, computer vision applications that need consistent illumination like face recognition, retro reflective materials also show up very well

8 512 x 424 array of depth pixels 30 fps Range: 0.5 - 4.5 meters
DepthFrameSource 512 x 424 array of depth pixels 30 fps Range: meters Each depth pixel is a 16-bit distance in millimeters from the sensor’s focal plane

9 Different image sensor than depth 30 fps
ColorFrameSource 1920 x 1080 array of color pixels Different image sensor than depth 30 fps Will maintain brightness and quality by dropping to 15 fps in low-light Different sensor means different pixel dimensions and aspect ratio. Also has wider field of view so there will be color pixels that don’t map to depth pixels.

10 BodyIndexFrameSource
512 x 424 array of body indexes -1: No body at this pixel 0 to 5: Index of the corresponding body, as tracked by the body source 30 fps Resolution is same as depth Could detect a body moved by comparing one frame to the next Can be used directly for some background removal

11 Frame data is a collection of Body objects each with 25 joints
BodyFrameSource Frame data is a collection of Body objects each with 25 joints Each joint has position in 3D space and an orientation Up to six simultaneous bodies 30fps Hand State on 2 bodies Lean Call out thumb and fingertip, hips, skeleton leaning

12 Data is audio samples captured over a specific interval of time
AudioFrameSource Data is audio samples captured over a specific interval of time Audio data is associated with an “audio beam” A steerable “cone” of focus for audio May be automatically or manually aimed Could detect a body moved by comparing one frame to the next Can be used directly for some background removal
