My name is Sandy Joseph, Rui Wang's Augmented Reality with Kinect from Pakt Publishing is my new favorite book about the Kinect sensor. It's a solid 5 out of 5 for me and if you want to learn how to use the Kinect 4W SDK 1.5 and above with C++, then this is the book for you.

Overview:
Understand all major Kinect API features including image streaming, skeleton tracking and face tracking
Understand the Kinect APIs with the help of small examples
Develop a comparatively complete Fruit Ninja game using Kinect and augmented Reality techniques

I particularly liked
Chapter Six, Implementing the Scene and Game Play
shows how to make the Fruit Ninja like game. In particular how to integrate the shown code in the prior chapters and how to implement a simple game logic.

You can download the sample chapters from http://www.packtpub.com/augmented-reality-with-microsoft-kinect/book
