Kinect is nu accurater dan bij launch

Microsoft heeft bevestigd dat de de Kinect momenteel accurater is dan tijdens de launch. Tijdens de E3 werden enkele games getoond die gebruikt maakten van Kinect waar gelijk geruchten de wereld ingingen dat de 'nieuwe' Kinect beter zou zijn dan de launch-versie. Microsoft heeft dit nu bevestigd, ze hebben enkele tweaks gemaakt waardoor het product nog beter is.

"Yeah, I think like we showed at E3, like Kudo showed with Kinect Fun Labs - a lot of that tech is the advancements we've made in the accuracy, the tracking... being able to show finger tracking in the sparkles demo he did.

You saw too with Ubisoft's gunsmith demo [for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier] he was using his hand to fire in the firing range mode. I think that's the kind of thing we're going to continue to iterate on."

Microsoft is niet van plan om te stoppen met ontwikkelingen voor de Kinect en zelfs de 360. Ze blijven continue verbeteringen aanbrengen om zodoende de kwaliteit te verhogen van beide producten.

"That's the beauty of Xbox. We've been doing that with Xbox 360, starting three or four years ago - continuing to deploy new software updates to improve the functionality, like enabling finger tracking and voice search, and also to bring new partners like Netflix on.

These [updates] are very deliberate and planned and programmed," he added. "There are already people working on things for next year and the year after inside our secret bunkers, and we'll continue to bring amazing stuff that consumers love."
