The SDK does not make much sense (pun intended) and where you find it excelling I find it limiting.
We created, e.g., a 3D scanner with the RealSense SDK. It was a pure mess. The precision of the camera and the abilities of the SDK have been in the way. In the end we had to use the most primitive API possible and directly smooth over everything. Still, the result was not very pretty. With the Kinect it is easily possible as the Kinect Fusion implementation demonstrates. Going beyond simple gestures is a pain. If you just use the built-in gestures then I agree with you - its alright. But is that really what I want as a developer? I hardly think so. Otherwise the last ~15 years in software engineering are just useless. Who needs extensibility?!
I still don't know what should be the use-case of a near-field camera in an Ultrabook. When I am sitting in front of the device I will definitely not use it. The Kinect is much better in almost every area. But I can see that they bought you where I had to refuse  . Glad at least one developer I know likes the SDK.

Actually, I find the remark that they bought me highly offensive. This award from Intel was just created this year - I've been working with the RealSense SDK for the last couple of years, back from when it was the Perceptual Computing SDK.
You and I have different opinions about the SDK and that's fine, but that's down to the way we like to interact - while I can do things very easily with the RealSense SDK, I also like the fact that I can go a lot deeper and achieve a much finer degree of control. I really like the fact that it's also multi-platform, and doesn't just tie me into a Microsoft world.

Can you elaborate a little bit more on the last point? I still think the SDK is only available on Microsoft Windows ... And you need quite some work to use it on Linux, as I already did that. To be honest it was easier to use the Kinect under Linux than the SDK. Therefore I really don't know what you mean. I never heard of the Android version, at least not for ARM (which is the architecture of 99% of all Android devices). Maybe I am wrong and maybe something changed since I stopped using the SDK.

Thanks Pete O'Hanlon(Congratulations to you becoming Intel Software Innovator..You showed me the path) for mentioning me it's been a highly privileged part as I started in Software Development 2 years back here at CodeProject and people like u and other CP members have always encouraged me.I am moved by your work thoroughly follow you.Because of CodeProject I think I have come some far the journey started here.Microsoft Virtual Academy Fast Track Challenge Global Winner.IOT atleast started,SWIFT TopcoderR challengewinner,building custom rom for Android,modifying the ROMS adding my own,Intel RealSense,Big Data Hadoop with IBM Bluemix,ChallengePost Dual Screen Android Challenge Popular choice winner,articles at CodeProject,Complete game with Project Anarchy,staying within top 25 in Topcoder Design competition for month of may...WOW the journey was awesome and I think I am still a 0 and know nothing.Rest assured more articles on different topics my experience to come and share here....because here I started here I belong    .Thanks Pete O'Hanlon and thanks everybody in CodeProject to give me the confidence that I can.Yeah indeed I am first in India to become the Intel Software Innovator and my journey has just started...

Google Translate tells me these are the equivalents for my English phrases (labels) in French, German, Italian and Spanish. While I generally trust Google, I thought it would be prudent to run the translations by native speakers. Any corrections (including casing) and comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I think the biggest issue Ravi is how you are going to use some of these
for example, 'tomorrow' - in French if wanted to say 'tomorrow' as Im talking to someone and I know I'll be back and see them tomorrow, I'd simply say 'à demain', Italian I'd simply say 'a domani'
In all of the cases Google has given you, they have given you '(the) tomorrow' - but, Im not a native speaker, I can get by in French, Italian, German, and know enough Spanish to order a coffee, so hopefully Carlo Pallini, Maximillien etc will be able to help you more (and you might want to indicate in your question how/where you're using the words ie context)
'g'

Good point. They will be used as labels in their noun form, viz:
Today: Shepherd's Pie
Tonight: Lasagna
Tomorrow: Pizza
Tomorrow night: Chicken Casserole

|

|

Today: Pizza
Tonight: Pizza
Tomorrow: Pizza
Tomorrow night: Pizza
FTFY.

It did the same thing with French: I don't know why it decided to use "le demain" instead of just "demain".

Thanks. They will be used as noun forms (see my reply to Garth).

Mostly, delete all instances of "le", "la", "der", and "gli", and you're close enough (either that or put "the" in front of the English versions).
Two of the Italian ones are seriously wrong, though; particularly "le stasera", which is wrong for two reasons:
1. "Stasera" is feminine, so it should be "la", except that:
2. "Stasera" is an elided form of "questa sera", so saying "la stasera" is like saying "the this evening". "La sera" is "the evening".
With "domani", "gli" indicates that it's plural, so it's like saying "all tomorrows"/"the future"; "tomorrow" is just "domani".
And unless you spent time with an Italian speaker practicing how to say "gli", it's unlikely that any Italian would understand you saying it, anyway -- the 'g' is sort-of silent (but you have to kinda roll the middle/back of your tongue), and it ends with a "yi" sound, rather than an "i" sound (the pronunciation is easy to demonstrate, but tricky to write down).
