Question

I'm making this program using Kinect SDK. I want to track the skeleton of a person who gives a particular gesture. I want to keep on tracking him even if he goes out of the sight of the kinect camera. Is there any way to do this using Kinect SDK or anyother libraries for Kinect?

Was it helpful?

"Is there any way to do this using Kinect SDK or any other libraries for Kinect?"

No.

If you are not in the vision area of the Kinect sensor - you are not being detected.
If you are not being detected - Kinect cannot give input which refers to you.
Without input which refers to you - your location is unknown.

But - is achievable
You could achieve triangulation of the location of the person by using the kinect built-in microphone array. but this is a technology in dippers... you can read more here: triangulation by sound distribution
