[Matthew Turk]

Today's new Xbox announcement includes a new Kinect:

Instead of the structured near-IR approach to depth sensing, it apparently
uses time-of-flight (laser) technology. (I'm betting it's actually measuring
phase shift rather than time-of-flight, but we'll see.) 60% wider field of
view. 1080p, 30 fps. Improved voice and gesture control. And it's pretty
sleek looking.

 

Quote: "We went all in on Kinect." Supposedly, the Xbox One will not
function without Kinect attached. They're already getting a lot of flak for
that.
