The Xbox platform holder is also distributing a preview of the Kinect for Windows software developer kit SDK, also in its second iteration.
Microsoft's Kinect for Windows v2
"The SDK is free of cost and there are no fees for runtime licenses of commercial applications developed with the SDK," says a blog post from Microsoft's Kinect team.
"We will be releasing a final version of the SDK 2.0 in a few months, but with so many of you eagerly awaiting access, we wanted to make the SDK available as early as possible."
The sensor offers a number of improvements over its predecessor, including enhanced depth sensing, support for the 1080p resolution and a wider field of view.
Microsoft is encouraging developers to publish Kinect-enabled apps on the Windows Store in a bid to increase the amount of compatible software available post-launch.
