Inevitable Kinect SDK Claims Surface


Almost confirming what we already thought we knew, cleverly-named Windows rumours site WinRumours states that: "Microsoft is set to unveil driver support and an SDK in the coming months and will allow third-party developers to create titles that utilize the Kinect sensor when plugged into a PC. According to sources familiar with the plans, Microsoft will distribute the drivers under the “beta” tag."

Anyway, we can totally expect a wave of PC dancing games and robot-controlling apps! An exciting future, I think you'll agree.
