Kinect for Windows - Feb 1, 2012

Yesterday at CES, Microsoft announced the new Kinect for Windows hardware and accompanying software will be available on February 1st, 2012.

In a blog post, Craig Weiss wrote "Kinect technology and gesture free will equally make an appearance in 2012. I am projecting that the number of vendors who enter this space to start slow, but gain steam – at least with some aspect, by the end of 2012. ..... Great opportunities in education (K-12 and higher ed) and even with companies, although I see it more with mid-size and large. Costs will vary, again lower price points are needed. What is great about Kinect technology is that it will work with tablets, eventually smartphones and televisions. "
