Aiming to help the world “re-imagine everything else” seems to be Microsoft’s goal in the future. In a recent blog post on the official Kinect for Windows Blog, Microsoft’s Craig Eisler has said that this gaming peripheral is about to take on some other roles, and will launch next year in the newest commercial program.
“This year, we’re showing the world how to re-imagine entertainment,” said Eisler in his post. “Next year, with Kinect for Windows, we will help the world re-imagine everything else.”
While the Kinect has been used for other non-gaming related functions, over two hundred companies have already registed for the pilot program, which aims to launch early next year. “…putting the power of Kinect + Windows into the hands of business leaders and technical visionaries will give them the tools they need to develop novel solutions for everything from training employees to visualizing data, from configuring a car to managing an assembly line,” wrote Eisler.
