Can the SDK do hand tracking?

I need to make a system that tracks a user's hand, or where he is pointing on screen.
Similar to what the Kinect can do. 

Is there something in the SDK that does that? 
Is there a sample or tutorial for hand tracking?

Thanks.

Yes, the SDK supports hand tracking.  It will work with the F200 and SR-300 cameras.  The R200 model only has face tracking though. There are numerous hand tracking samples that come packaged with the SDK.

If you are looking for controls similar to using a mouse to click things, the SDK has a module called the Touchless Controller that does this.
