Friends asked me to help him on a project, and attempting to get a sense for how easy it will be using the Kinect platform to get body positions data using the .NET platform. For example, does Kinect just give a raw datastream of movements within the range of the sensors, or does it have the option to use a "smart" datastream that IDs people, elements of a person, and position changes of people/elements.

Every skeleton that is tracked has its own uniq ID. From skeleton you can get position (axis x,y,z) of every joint that is tracked. It`s not a simple datastream but complex set of data

Awesome, thanks! Using the keywords present in your answer I was able to find this video "Skeletal Tracking Fundamentals" – blunders Aug 11 at 21:37

I know this has already been answered, but I just wanted to point out that if you see my answer on Kinect user Detection, you can also use the PlayerIndex which JuergeonD also explains on Kinect SDK player detection. Hope this helps!
