“Kinect for Windows – Building the Future”

Kinect

Kinect for Windows.

Since announcing a few weeks ago that the Kinect for Windows commercial program will launch in early 2012, we’ve been asked whether there will also be new Kinect hardware especially for Windows. The answer is yes; building on the existing Kinect for Xbox 360 device, we have optimized certain hardware components and made firmware adjustments which better enable PC-centric scenarios. Coupled with the numerous upgrades and improvements our team is making to the Software Development Kit (SDK) and runtime, the new hardware delivers features and functionality that Windows developers and Microsoft customers have been asking for.

  1. If someone just makes a basic head-tracking program that can output to free-track/trackir interfaces the simulator community will go nuts. Seriously, someone make it. Even if you just take donations you’ll make some decent cash.
