The biggest highlight of the new Kinect update for Windows 10 is that it allows users to use Kinect as a webcam. Once you set everything up, you’ll be able to use Kinect during video calls, or for biometric face recognition for Windows Hello, just like any other webcam. It has always been possible to do such thing with Kinect in Windows 10, but now it’s easier than ever. All you have to do is to go to the Device Manager, find your Kinect device, check for driver updates, and you’re good to go. As simple, as that. Additionally, Microsoft also enabled the new UWP APIs, that will allow third-party universal Windows apps to absorb depth, RGB, and infrared data from the sensor. All code samples related to Kinect for Windows UWP APIs are available for developers to download: For more info about all the innovations for Kinect on Windows 10, and the latest driver, visit Microsoft’s official blog.
