In the meantime, all that audio and video will be going to Microsoft's cloud... Waiting for something bad to happen.
Yeah we've been "waiting" for that for decades, you people were saying this same shit about backdoors in Windows 95. After a few decades of nothing happening aren't you getting bored of this tired message? History suggests in another decade you'll still be waiting for something to happen.
Ever notice how Microsoft never gives up? Kinect was a failure with XBox but let's keep throwing it out there until something works. Probably got a bunch of Kinect parts sitting in a warehouse and something has to be done with them. Sadly Microsoft just seems to recycle old ideals and them calls them new.
Isn't the new version of the Kinect a POS anyways, compared to the original? The original used the same technology that Apple uses in its face unlock. Apple bought the company that developed that tech, and why MS switched to the inferior crap that is the new version.
The original was plenty capable, if you ever actually used one on a PC with the SDK that MS provided. It's VGA resolution was adequate for catching details in the 5-10ft range from the sensor it was designed to work in.
Original 650x480 video, 320x240 depth V2 1920x1080 video, 512x424 depth
V2 also has a wider field of view but lacks a motor to move it. It can track more joints and more skeletons. http://zugara.com/how-does-the... [zugara.com]
Apple bought the company that developed the original Kinect sensor. That's how it got ran into the ground. The same technology that was in the original Kinect is what is inside the sensor array for face unlock. Just much more miniaturized.
It's like an incremental upgrade to the Kinect hardware that instead of buying the whole thing, you buy half of it and are forced to rent the other half from a single provider that will leave your hardware useless as soon as you (or they) cancel the service.
I'm pretty sure most people have already arrived at the conclusion that "upgrade" no longer means what it should, and kind of just see it to mean "a bunch of unwanted and probably breaking/blocking changes that will take considerable time investment to route around.
A few years ago it was “Touch-First, Mobile-First” and now it’s “Speech-First, Gaze-First, Vision-First”. Does he understand that after something is first, the next thing has to be second? I hate dislike nonsensical, corporate double-talk.

The connect 2 is limited by it's sensor resolution.
Any modern PC has more than enough CPU to do simple things like map the sensor data to an avatar skeleton.
Sure you can find a use of a Connect sensor that could use more CPU, but it won't likely have anything to do with gaming.
