Microsoft released a little more information about its official SDK just now:


Interesting that they chose to highlight the audio capabilities. I guess MS believe this to be the USP over the competition. I can't wait for it to be released and have a play!

There will be commercial terms available later after the initial release.

Hehe, thanks Joshua!

I hope it happens.
I've heard some news about an improve that M$ will do in kinect,
something about a better system of joins or something like that, I've
lost it in internet...
Maybe kinect for windows will use it, because in terms of game,
kinect's horizon is a little bit closed...

I'm pleased by Microsoft's attitude towards community development. It's not a first by Microsoft by a long shot, but it's certainly the highest-profile 'embracement' of the community that I can remember. Keep going like this, MS, and people will start loving you above those penny-pinching fanboys in Cupertino ;)

I would love to know whether Microsoft always intended on releasing the kit like this. Did MS respond (positively) in this way to the community's immediate and successful attempts to 'hack' the Kinect, or (more cynically) did the company realise just how large a market it has cornered due to the popularity of the device and wants to cash in with lucrative commercial kits? Maybe we'll never know, but I do know that developments in the coming months will be exciting.

is it true that the SDK will only be available for Windows 7?
Anyone got any news about this?

thanks
