Microsoft could make Kinect faster?

According to a new Microsoft Research project in Cambridge, Kinect’s ability to identify and thus read our body movements could be sped up greatly.

In fact it would be ”one order of magnitude faster” in fancy talk, as it could process in under 5ms, or 200 times a second, all thanks to ‘3D depth maps’.

Basically they analyse a load of ‘3D maps’ of people and then aggregated the data letting a new AI routine be created that can much more easily identify body parts across a much wider selection of users. This speeds up the tracking process a lot.
