Increased field of view and higher depth range to allow up to six users playing at once, claims report
The specs for the new Kinect on Microsoft's next Xbox have been leaked, according to a report. VGleaks has claimed that Kinect 2 will feature higher depth accuracy and an increased field of view to allow play in larger spaces and differing room sizes.
The motion sensing peripheral now possesses a 70-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical field of view, compared to 57.6 and 43.5 on the current iteration.
Kinect 2 can also see at a depth range of 0.8m to 4m, similar to the original hardware.
This increased vision backs up previous reports that suggested up to six players could now use Kinect at once.
