Is it possible to use a Xbox 360 Kinect with Windows 8 in place of a Kinect for Windows?
Note that this would be used in a Home Theater PC environment, and not at a normal desktop set up, so range issues aside will it work when connected to a PC or will it just not be recognized.
So does that mean yes it should work when connected to a PC, but not as well as the PC version? – MrDaniel – 2012-10-16T16:15:40.987
Not trying to use the SDK, to develop a Kinect enabled PC app, just trying to use a "Xbox Kinect" to control a Windows 8 PC. – MrDaniel – 2012-10-16T17:41:24.827
I have no way to test this, but from the looks of that FAQ, I would say the answer is no. It looks like the APIs for computer control are not available for the Xbox Kinect. – Ryan – 2012-10-16T18:09:57.597
