Kinect — the Eyes and Ears of Windows
summary
Kinect for Windows demos concrete capabilities: a four‑mic array does directional speech, the depth camera plus RGB yields 40 cm to 3 m near‑mode tracking versus 80 cm to 4 m on Xbox, skeleton and face tracking run at about 30 fps, and Kinect Fusion builds real 3D meshes with color (SDK 1.8). Interaction SDK supplies hand cursors, push‑forward presses and open/closed grab scrolling. Kinect Studio records and replays sensor streams. Xbox hardware is cheaper but Windows device and licensing cost about $250 versus $125.
