New Delhi, 7th August, 2012—Microsoft Corporation India Pvt. Ltd. has announced the availability of Kinect for Windows sensor and Software Development Kit (SDK) in India. Kinect for Windows harnesses the power of Microsoft Natural User Interface and has the potential to completely revolutionize products and processes in the home, at work and at public places. Aimed at developing innovative applications, developers and businesses can take advantage of several innovation features including improved skeletal tracking, face tracking, enhanced speech and seated mode tracking.
The India launch is an opportunity for developers to explore and tinker with this new technology, find out what it can do, dream up interesting scenarios, and push the limits of what’s possible. The Kinect for Windows sensor is available at INR 19990 and consumers can visithttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/purchase/resellers.aspx to call the sales office for their zone to place an order.

This proliferation of great new content for Kinect, which we call the Kinect Effect, will expand even further with our commercial release of Kinect for Windows. We are excited around the new possibilities that Kinect will enable on the Windows platform, and the many different ways each Kinect for Windows based scenario could enrich lives and make using technology more natural for everyone.” With Kinect for Windows, a future in which devices work more naturally and intelligently to improve our lives is within our reach as the developer community and business customers re-imagine the future of computing using the power of Kinect.
