The Kinect, the popular motion-sensing controller for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 gaming console, seems to be poised to be integrated with Sony TVs and as well as personal computers in the near future.
The details were shared by reports and Microsoft itself recently.
First up, we have the official Kinect for PCs development. This news was one that was directly shared by Microsoft via the Kinect for Windows Blog. That development is actually not new, however, new details were shared about the Kinect for Windows by the Kinect for Windows Team.
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.

Ha?! Do you think that sony really allowed this to happen though they have their own motion censor product called eyetoy, they should just need to improve it that letting MS to infiltrate their other products cause if that happens, it's like getting a rock and hit that into their heads!!
Sony already experimented with the 3D cam technology back in the day for EyeToy 2, so I think they already have the technology.
But besides that, what's the point having something like Kinect in a TV? Correct me if I'm wrong but the infrared camera has a limited range, like 2 meters IIRC. So... what's the point?
OK let's assume there is no range problem. Still no point. Waving your hand to switch a channel? Yeah that's awesome if you're lying on your couch. And if you stand up? Will it register it and switch the channel? I can't see anything beneficial about it.
Before anyone brings up voice recognition... you don't need a ridiculously expensive 3D infrared camera, a much cheaper microphone is enough for that.
