Microsoft explains a little more about the design of their new Xbox One Kinect device: “The Xbox One Kinect needed to capture a larger field of view with greater accuracy and higher resolution. An infrared sensor will enable object identification requiring little to no light, and improved hand-pose recognition, giving gamers and more casual users the ability to control the console with their hands.”
