Xbox One costs more to make than the PS4, thanks to ESRAM and Kinect
2013-11-26 22:27:37| Extremetech
If you bought an Xbox One for $500, rest assured that you got a good deal: It cost Microsoft $471 to make the Xbox One, new Kinect, and everything else in the box. After the retailers' cut, Microsoft loses money on every Xbox One sold. At $471, the Xbox One costs about $90 more than the PS4 -- a cost difference that is almost entirely down to the new Kinect, which costs around $75 to make.

MITs Kinect of the future can track you through walls
2013-10-18 15:33:56| Extremetech
Researchers from MIT have unveiled a new form of motion tracking that uses a three-point system to follow a person's position, even through a totally opaque wall. Though the word "Kinect" has been thrown around quite liberally for the sake of accessibility, this is strictly a positional tracker -- that means that it won't be interpreting sign language or reading lips any time soon.
