Original Kinect for Windows Will No Longer Be Available

Microsoft plans to remove its support for the original Kinect for Windows as it makes room for v2.

The original Kinect for Windows sensor will no longer be supported, Microsoft has announced.

Microsoft is phasing out the original Kinect for Windows after it launched Kinect for Windows v2, which is the same sensor that comes with Xbox One, and SDK 2.0 in July.

"We hope everyone will embrace the latest Kinect technology as soon as possible, but we understand that some business customers have commitments to the original sensor and SDK," Microsoft said. "If you’re one of them and need a significant number of original Kinect for Windows sensors, please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to fill your orders, but no more original sensors will be manufactured after the current stock sells out."

The original Kinect for Windows was called a "milestone achievement in the world of natural human computing," by Microsoft.

The Kinect for Windows v2 sensor is not available with any software, as it is intended to be used with Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0, which developers can use to build applications. Microsoft sells it through its online store for $200.
