Microsoft Kinect
Kinect (codenamed in development as Project Natal) is a line of motion sensing input devices by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles and Windows PCs. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral, it enables users to control and interact with their console/computer without the need for a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands.[9] The first-generation Kinect was first introduced in November 2010 in an attempt to broaden Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base. A version for Windows was released on February 1, 2012.
Microsoft released the Kinect software development kit for Windows 7 on June 16, 2011. This SDK was meant to allow developers to write Kinecting apps in C++/CLI, C#, or Visual Basic .NET.

    Question Need help with a Kinect cable please

    We're going to wall mount our TV and the XBOX will be at least 20 feet away from it, so I need to somehow extend the Kinect cable from the XBOX and chase it into the wall and have it sit under the TV on a shelf I guess. Anybody know a good / recommended cable ?
