The Kinect for Windows Sensor (For Developers Only) from Microsoft is not the same as the motion-tracking, voice-activated gaming controller for the Xbox 360, but it's a tool for developers to use when creating new motion-tracking applications for Windows computers. While you won't be able to play your favorite Kinect games or connect to the Xbox 360, the Kinect for Windows sensor can be used with the Kinect for Windows Commercial Software Development Kit (SDK).
Connecting to a computer running Windows 7 or Windows Embedded Standard 7 via a USB port, the Kinect for Windows allows a variety of different input methods for the computers, such as gestures, voice activation and more. You can connect up to four Kinect for Windows when using them in conjunction with Kinect for Windows Commercial SDK.
