5.0 out of 5 stars A fun toy, FOR PROGRAMING and TINKERING
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is not, and will not be (at least in the near term) a product for the typical end user.

One other person commented that this is also only good for those that are experienced programmers... I would like to point out that is not entirely true either ... There are some resorces available that will help you get started with programing with this device. I am not an expert programmer, i don't even consider myself a good programer, but I'm using this device to learn a lot of things... I've wanted to learn more programming, however a big issue with me is that I just didnt know what to make / didnt have anything interesting to work on... This device changes that and makes the process of learning a fun experience for me. Learning with this device will further my abilities and make me more marketable, not because I can program a Kinect but because I'm motivated to learn more programing in general because of the Kinect.

If your kind of a geek, and want a toy to play with, something that will challange you to learn some new things and have fun while you are at it, this is a pretty cool item to pick up!

If you want something to plug into your computer that will make your computer do some neat things out of the box, you might want to move on and get a different toy.

Additional Note: You are going to want to have a decent computer to plug this into... I'm getting ready to upgrade my very old dual core system, but this thing is killing my computer right now... Anytime I start talking to this device my CPU utilization runs solid at 100% and it is not giving me a very good frame rate on the video feeds. THIS IS NOT THE SENSORS FAULT, I'm just putting a note here that your computer does make a difference with this device! ... That being said, I am still playing with it and enjoying my time learning about the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinect Sensor for Windows is Awesome!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012

I'm using the Kinect sensor for Windows for its Infrared detection capabilities - I was previously using the Kinect sensor for XBox360 and was told that the Windows version is much more accurate - it's true -that being said - this is a research tool - not for game playing - but if you're doing research - this is the sensor you want - I've had no problems with it at all and - as I said before - because of its accuracy - my research is coming along much faster as a result of using the Windows version than if I had stayed with the XBox360 version - Try it - You'll love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too soon to be useful; may change soon.
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012

This product is hardware only. No manual; no software. Plug it into Windows 8 Developer Preview and drivers download, but that's it. Install the Software Development Kit (SDK) and you can see the crudest demos. I also downloaded a couple of third party tools, none of which worked. Right now, it's a paperweight.

Hopefully, when Windows 8 Consumer Preview comes out 2/29/11, this Kinect will become useful. More likely, it will take months. By which time, the price will come down. Wait, unless you're a developer.

Details: Amazon deletes a link here, so search for supersite kinect for professional evaluation of this package as it stands right now (could change anytime).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great innovation but not for consumers
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2012

This is an amazing product. It can recognnize body joints and movement just by looking at you. However, be aware this for developers ONLY. It coming with nothing that will help you use it is any way. You have to go on the web and find tutorials and demos from microsoft.com and coding4fun.com. You MUST have, and be proficient with Visual Studio. Don't buy this unless you has extensive experience with C++ or VB.NET and know how to use references and libraries. It is bit like buying a PC in the eighties - You had to know what you wanted to do with it.

If you have the knowledge and have an application to create a truly remarkable UI then get this, otherwise wait for someone to make you a consumer product out of this.

1.0 out of 5 stars 'Near mode' is of questionable value - $100 more - and why no XBox 360 support?
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2012
Verified Purchase
All of this is AFAICT based on working with both the Kinect for Windows sensor and XBox 360 sensor in VS 2010.
Other developer comments and corrections are welcome.

I feel Microsoft is trying to convince developers that the 'near mode' is somehow qualifying the Kinect for usable input from users at normal laptop or desktop distances in the Windows environment, buts its ability there is very much in question.

-The near mode doesn't mean you can get skeleton data at closer distances, just DEPTH data. Depth data without associated skeleton data is of limited usage. For skeleton data your best bet is to turn off near mode and stand 4-5 feet away *exactly like the XBox 360 sensor*.

-Keep in mind that near mode is a *separate mode* and a compromise - the 'too far' distance is more limited in near mode :|

-It's $100 more than the XBox version for no reason I can discern. Even Microsoft states that the XBox 360 was capable of depth info at these distances in the correct light. The adjustment they made for near mode must have been incredibly trivial.

-It doesn't work with the XBox 360, which yes *is* important for developers if you only want to buy one device but also do R&D into production Kinect interfaces of any kind (which I recommend you do before programming with Kinect). Again, I don't know why they did this, except to sell an extra Kinect to developers. Its otherwise identical in every respect and its normal mode works exactly the same way as the XBox 360. Microsoft would have had to deliberately broken XBox support, or *just not really tried at all*.

This was a great product. It allowed us to work quickly on figuring out new tools and integrating it with existing ones.
Multi-touch works seamlessly and integrates well.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a better way to work on large screens.
