As you probably heard thanks to the Xbox One frenzy these days, Microsoft will unveil a new Kinect sensor for the gaming console in the next few months.

As far as the new-generation Kinect for Windows sensor is concerned, the tech giant plans to bring it to the market next year, the company recently announced.

It will have several new features, including higher fidelity, expanded field of view, improved skeletal tracking, and new active infrared to allow the sensor to work in nearly any lighting condition.

“Just as the new Kinect sensor will bring opportunities for revolutionizing gaming and entertainment, the new Kinect for Windows sensor will revolutionize computing experiences. The precision and intuitive responsiveness that the new platform provides will accelerate the development of voice and gesture experiences on computers,” Microsoft explained.
