Microsoft Reveals Kinect v2 Hardware
Microsoft has revealed Kinect v2 for Windows.
Announced via a blog post, it looks a lot like the Xbox One Kinect unit, only with a standard power indicator in place of the glowing X and a Kinect label on the top.
Cable wise it comes with a power brick and a hub splitter that includes a USB 3.0 cable.
While there’s no release date yet, the post does say: “As this first look at the Kinect for Windows v2 hardware indicates, we’re getting closer and closer to launch. So stay tuned for more updates on the next generation of Kinect for Windows.”

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
