RIP Kinect (Gaming)

Which is funny because I've seen documentaries and educational science type shows where "they" were using a kinect as basically robotic eyes, or for medical purposes.

(Don't ask for sources because I can't provide, I just remember more than once watching a documentary and saying "hey...that's a freaking kinect!)

Edit: found this with a super quick googling.

Same with Xbox controllers being used in military applications.

So MS video game accessories not so good for video games...but good for science?
