Kinect for Windows Now Available in Singapore



Kinect for Windows combines hardware, software and licensing that enables developers to create a new class of Windows-based applications using gesture and voice, and encourage companies and organizations worldwide to enhance their operations and relationships with customers. This gives thought leaders the tools to reimagine and transform the way we do things with new Kinect-enabled tools.

The Kinect for Windows sensor is a fully-tested and supported Kinect experience on Windows and is built for developers. Its commercial license and purchasable hardware is now available in Singapore at a suggested retail price of S$349 (inclusive of GST). The price includes a one-year warranty and access to ongoing software updates for both speech and human tracking.

  • Kinect Studio, a new tool that allows developers to record and playback Kinect data.
  • A set of Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) to guide developers on best practices for the creation of Natural User Interfaces using Kinect.
  • The Face Tracking SDK, which provides a real-time 3D mesh of facial features, tracking the head position, location of eyebrows and shape of the mouth.
  • “Seated” or “10-joint” skeletal tracking, which provides the capability to track the head, neck and arms of either a seated or standing user.
  • New samples in both C++ and C#, plus a “Basics” series of samples with language coverage in C++, C# and Visual Basic.
  • Four new languages for speech recognition, including French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
