What's new in Microsoft's Kinect for Windows final bits
The Kinect for Windows sensor looks like the Kinect for Xbox sensor. But it is designed to work at closer range and to work with Windows 7/8 PCs. In addition to making firmware adjustments in the new Windows Kinect sensor, Microsoft has shortened the the USB cable and is including of a “small dongle” to improve coexistence with other USB peripherals. The Windows version will modify the Kinect depth camera to see objects that are “as close as 50 centimeters in front of the device” without sacrificing accuracy or precision.
The Kinect for Windows software development kit (SDK) and runtime are now available under a commercial license, not just a hobbyist license, allowing developers to create commercial/business applications that make use of the product.
