Kinect For Windows Launches 2012: Aimed At PC Enthusiasts and Businesses

[MilkyWay]

Now whos saying consoles are good for nothing?

Im interested to see if we can get some nice applications for this device. Id love to try just using it instead of a mouse for a laugh. Windows 8 with its dodgy tablet UI might be good to use with Kinect. Shouting at my Kinect to pause a movie or something might be interesting.

I can see indy developers having a right crack at using Kinect or maybe Kinect enabled multi platform games for 360 will show up on PC with support. I think Mass Effect 3 has some sort of support for it so the PC version might end up with support.

Well at least the robot being controlled through Kinect (and a PC) would no longer be done through "hacks" but through an official SDK then. I only remembered it now (and not when I last posted in this thread LOL ).

You don't need kinect for that, just any webcam.

Well said!
