title: Working with depth data - Kinect
body: <p>I just started learning about Kinect through some quick start videos and was trying out the code to work with depth data. </p>
  
  <p>However, I am not able to understand how the distance is being calculated using bit-shifting and various other formulas that are being employed to calculate other stuff too while working with this depth data.</p>

  <p>Are these the particulars which are Kinect-specifics explained in the documentation etc.? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
