Microsoft kinect 2 to lip read and sense mood

We all know that Microsoft will release a new Kinect for Windows computers next year, and now it seems that the company got another Kinect in the works as well. According to Eurogamer's sources,"Kinect 2 rumored to be bundled with future Xbox consoles, and it will be a significant improvement on the current Kinect".


Kinect 2 is said to offer improved motion detection and voice recognition - that sounds like a natural evolution for a device like this, but here's where it gets even more interesting.

"One development source told Eurogamer that Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing.

Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states.”

 If the rumors are true, it seems that we will have some very interesting games in the future.
