Forums - Gaming - Question about the new Kinect

I heard that it can see through walls and all through your house. Also heard it seens that info to Mircosoft. That's not good at all if true. Has anyone else heard this and are you concerned if you have or is getting an Xbox 1?

It can see you naked too I heard



Honestly, if that was a feature you would know about it by now. 



In all seriousness, it can measure your heart rate, track your eye movements and your expression, along with regular and infra-red recording.

There is a great potential for MS to profit selling data for advertising and television. Who is watching the TV and where at a particular time, and their mood at the time. Sorted into demographics using your user profile information. Always-on Kinect 2.0 could listen in on regular conversation to pick out brand names (along with other sensitive information). I have a Kinect 1.0 on top of my TV, but it is never powered or connected to the XBOX unless I'm about to use it, the features of Kinect 2.0 make me never want it on at all.

Interestingly, as an aside, Kinect 2.0 doesn't have voice recognition. It has facial recognition, and can pinpoint the location of the sound of your voice.

Yeah, I don't see any point to this. Locking.
