Next version of Kinect so good it can read lips? [Rumours]
According to Eurogamer citing a “development source”, the next version of Kinect will be so accurate, it will be able to lip read. The current version of Kinect was limited by the the “old” USB 2.0 technology used by the Xbox 360.
The next version of Xbox will come bundled with Kinect 2 and without the current limitations, will also be able to “track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states.”
All of that sounds pretty impressive. But when can we expect to have this technology in our homes? A new Xbox or perhaps an updated version of the current Xbox 360 is rumoured to be released next year. We will just have to wait and see if these rumours are indeed true.
