Next Kinect Could Be a Lot More Understanding

 The next generation of Microsoft's Kinect input device may be able to read users' lips and emotions. The forthcoming device, which is expected to come bundled with Xbox consoles, reportedly will not just sense motions the way the current Kinect generation does, but will also allow games to read lips, recognize which way players are facing, and detect when they are angry. To assess players' emotional states, Kinect 2 may track their facial characteristics, as well as the pitch and volume of their voices.
