The product name is Microsoft Xbox 360 Power Supply and I've added a link to the post for how to buy it from Amazon, but I'm sure you can find it at other retailers too.

Cheers,

-Dan

Thanks for the great videos and examples.

Is there an easy way to develop without Kinect hardware being present and working on pre-recorded input (or some other kind of sample input) instead - perhaps by recording all input into some suitable format.

I see several cases where this could be interesting:

1. Developing on the run (on train, bus, plane, at a café, hotel and so on) where it isn't practical to bring hardware along.

2. Developing for specific purposes not present in the development environment (e.g. working with video of several people).
Even with the hardware present it would be better to test up against a pre-recorded input as a fixed control input. It would also remove the requirement of having actual people to act in front of the camera every single time the code needs testing.

Is it coming with new Kinect hardware? So that's not supported by Kinect for Xbox 360?

Cheers,

@Dan: Hi Dan, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any UI guidelines for developing for the Kinect? I've had a look around but can't seem to find anything. Specifically I'm looking for minimum text size, button size etc. Have Microsoft produced any Guidelines/Standards for this?
