Microsoft finally is releasing the official tools to allow Windows users to interact with Kinect Sensor. Microsoft is playing catch up with the open source community which released the drivers last year.
Kinect sensor is important in robotics world because is the first cheap sensor that allows the robot to see the world 3D. For 150$ the sensor
delivers a 3D map, a image sensor and sound. In conjunction with ROS(Robotic Operating System) from Willow Garages It could create a very cheap autonomous robot.
One of the problems with the sensor is that it behaves poorly in normal light condition(outside illumination). Kinect sensor could create a revolution in computing and robotics because is very capable and relatively cheap.
