Microsoft Kinect and Windows 8 could revolutionize the entire PC market, while others believe that this is just a "re-hash" technology that is already there and it will take years until consumers get used to it (like for example: 3D technology has been around for awhile, but people still are not 100% used to it and it is still very expensive .)
key technology has been around for a while, but Microsoft realized the great potential of this new technology. Following the acquisition of various subsidiaries, such as 3D depth camera maker 3DV Systems and gesture control maker Canesta, Microsoft is the best technology for the creation of cheap motion control system that is not as expensive as 3D technology. In fact, Kinect is fairly inexpensive gadget - a year ago, a similar system would be very expensive
.Will Microsoft release Kinect for Windows soon?
Microsoft clearly has the know-how, but the big question is whether Microsoft can complete development until next year. Year 2012 is rumored editions of Windows 8 and we expect that Microsoft will be ready by then, at least. However, it would not be surprise if they actually release Kinect for Windows 7 before 2012.
At MIX 2011, Microsoft demoed Kinect SDK and showed us how easy it is to navigate with the WorldWide Telescope Kinect. Well, it looks like Microsoft might be able to download it! Intuitively control your computer with just a few gestures that we saw in Minority Report just a few years ago will soon become a reality. We truly live in exciting times!
Demo gives us hope that Windows 8 will have the full support Kinect. Who does not rejoice just clapping hands to close the computer or do some simple gestures to start the scheduled backup, start the movie or create an ebook reader?
