Rumor: Kinect 2 body tracking image leaked

The above image has hit the internet courtesy of DaE, a supposed developer in possession of a development kit for the next Xbox, which is codenamed “Durango”. The image is said to be a body tracking image from the next iteration of Kinect, which is said to be built into the next Xbox, as opposed to sold as an attachment like with the Xbox 360. As you can see, the image shows a more distinct outline of the two figures on screen as opposed to the current Kinect technology, and clearly picks up a hand, with fingers that is in front of the larger figure’s body. Are we getting our first look at some of the advancements next-generation will bring to Kinect? While it is unlikely that we will get a confirmation as to whether the image is legitimately from a Durango development kit or not, speculation is already spreading across the web like wild fire. We’ll let you be the judge. Leave us a comment below and tell us what you think!
