Microsoft has announced that Kinect is officially on its way to Windows. In a blog post on the Microsoft Developer Network site, Microsoft's Craig Eisler confirmed that the Kinect for Windows commercial program will launch next year.
"This year, we're showing the world how to re-imagine entertainment," Eisler wrote. "Next year, with Kinect for Windows, we will help the world re-imagine everything else."
Kinect for Xbox 360 has already spread to several functions beyond gaming, and over two hundred companies have registered for the Kinect for Windows pilot program. According to Eisler, "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."
Kinect For Windows will launch in early 2012. A new version of the SDK is currently available for download.
