Starkadius 219 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9906y10GzQ Looks like Chef's MBKinect will get a major upgrade if this new Kinect gets supported. This is the one I have been waiting for to get for my HTPC, I will finally get to try out MBKinect. Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 63 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Combine this with the chance to leverage Kinect for voice and gestures on the X1 when they allow for a native MB app and you have some great potential for chef's work brining this control to MB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkadius 219 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Microsoft opening up Windows Store app development to Kinect for Windows The Kinect SDK is getting a welcome update that will enable developers to package their apps for the Windows Store. They’ll also be adding in support for the ever-popular Unity engine, improved accuracy, and the ability to run multiple Kinect apps simultaneously. I am guessing the Windows 8.1 MB app can have Kinect support at some point if implemented. Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source that is great news. Maybe the MB developers can collaborate a little and bring Kinect support to the Win 8/RT app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMc 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 From first impressions many announcements from 'Build' like the "Universal Apps" concept looks very promising for MB going forward, even if support for Xbox One will be a bit. MB Clients/plugins that can work on all MS platforms seems like a great idea from a users point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 that is great news. Maybe the MB developers can collaborate a little and bring Kinect support to the Win 8/RT app. Would you be interested in testing mbkinect with window rt/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper11 63 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Not to bump an old thread, but this looks like the best one to share this info: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.298810500 $199 and comes out July the 15th If I remember correctly, that is cheaper than the Kinect V1 for Windows was, so that's good news. I will be very tempted to upgrade to this for my HTPC setup. With all of chef's hard work, I can't wait to see how better hardware can make that work even more valuable.
