Microsoft resurrects the Kinect, but for business

Even before a Hololens sequel could grace Microsoft's stage at MWC, the company has revived the Kinect, but in a button-downed business sense. Nearly a decade since the Kinect first launched, the Azure Kinect combines a depth sensor, high-def camera and a spatial microphone array. It's got an "intelligent edge", in that sees and hears in high levels of detail, but also interprets those inputs. The new camera module has a depth sensor with wide or narrow views, depending on the use case. According to Microsoft, early adopter users have already been using the new Kinect in very useful ways.
