is it possible to emulate the Kinect (useful for debugging code)?

I'm developing a Kinect program using the official SDK version 1.5. I was wondering whether it is possible to talk to an emulated kinect device? That would allow for faster coding and debugging, since I don't have to plugin the device but could replay some data.

Is that possible? if so, how do I get started?

I used to do this using OpenNI (there were even a few recorded footage in the website). As far as I remember Microsoft Kinect SDK didn't have something similar although it has been quite some time since I last used. – none

I've only used the offical Kinect SDK for a few days, but recommend having a look at Kinect Studio. There's a good article on working with Kinect Studio on msdn to get started.
