detecting finger movement with Microsoft Kinect in c#

Is it possible to detect finger movements with Kinect. I am able to detect skeleton and do some mouse movement and perform a click based on OTHER HAND location. I would like to implement the 'mouse click' using finger movements.

Is it possible with Microsoft Kinect sdk or with the other open source similar projects?

Thanks.

Can Kinect detect fingers?

The algorithm starts by detecting the Hand joints and the HandStates of a given Body. This way, the algorithm knows whether a joint is properly tracked and whether it makes sense to search for fingers.

Currently it is only possible by using a hack; there is no official setting or API for it but it is possible to analyze the image data and find the fingers.
