Washington: Microsoft has announced that it will no longer be making Kinect for Windows v2 sensors.
Launched last year, the Kinect Adapter allows users to connect a Kinect for Xbox One sensor to Windows 8.0 and 8.1 PCs and tablets.
CNET quoted Michael Fry, a senior technology evangelist for Kinect for Windows, as saying, that because both Kinect for Xbox One and Kinect for Windows v2 sensors are functionally identical, Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 works exactly the same with either.
Fry also said that Microsoft would still provide support for Kinect for both Xbox and Windows.
There have been a number of Kinect for Windows apps developed by coders in various vertical markets, including health care.
