Kinect 2.0 Detailed

[SvennoJ]

Nothing new, I guess these specs still stand


6.75x camera resolution (640x480 -> 1920x1080)
33% lower latency (90ms -> 60ms)
22% wider field of view (57.5 degrees -> 70 degrees)
31% better horizontal resolution (5.6 pixels per degree -> 7.3 pixels per degree)

And a time of light camera which is supposed to have about 1 cm depth accuracy, which should be the same no matter the distance from the camera while the tech in Kinect 1 varies in accuracy from 1.5 mm at 50 cm to about 5 cm at 5 m

Interesting tech, yet quite modest upgrades in actual numbers (apart from the HD camera). Still no individual finger tracking, but at least it can now distinguish between open and closed hands.

I wonder how accurate the heartbeat and emotion sensing is. I guess we'll have to wait until it's out in the real world to see.
