I don't think we'll see Kinect for Scorpio, but I imagine you will probably be able to plug in the existing one that came with Xbox One.

That is how I feel too. Similar to how you can use it on PC. Which I actually do use it for simple mo cap projects. Still not super accurate but it gets the job done close enough to work with.

I'd like to see it used in conjunction with Scorpio's VR games... hand-tracking could eliminate the need for Touch/Move style controllers, whilst voice commands would allow players to communicate with in-game characters - both essential steps toward making VR a more believable and immersive experience.

maybelovehate3402d ago

it isn't accurate enough or low latency enough for hand tracking, at least not in its current form. But it could be used to enhance VR games.

kstuffs3402d ago

They are already working on hand tracking with Kinect since 2014. MS can dedicate the Kinect just for hand tracking while use inside-out tracking from HoloLens for head tracking. I suspect this might be one reasons why they bought Simplygon to reduce polygon rendering/tracking (assume they can make it real-time).

Still believe it could work well for VR...

It better at least be able to be plugged in, since I was promised that all my X1 accessories would be compatible with the Scorpio.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
