Already looked through there, couldn't find anything regarding keybinding :( – AisRuss Apr 15 '12 at 21:27
There should be ways to _read input_ from the Kinect device. It's up to you to raise an event related to a keypress (see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1645815/how-can-i-programmatically-generate-keypress-events-in-c) – Ropstah Apr 15 '12 at 21:28

First you need to import in code user32.dll

Than you just use this:

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("{Right}");

Works for me :) You need to put the line above in the part of your code where the gesture is recognized

About SendKeys you can read this system.windows.forms.sendkeys

Then you can check this for wave hand

There is a project that binds kinect gestures to keyboard events and mouse movements. It's from a prerelease Kinect SDK, so it might not be 100 % compatible with what you are using right now:
