What Apple product/tech are you thinking of? The two off the top of my head are FaceID and ARKit, and both seem quite a stretch to me. I feel like I’m missing something obvious.
Of course the application of it is totally different.
Are you aware of anything to the contrary? Definitely interested in learning more if so, given the Kinect is going away. I can also see Apple potentially doing more with this in the future, though they’re not there yet.
It seems more like Microsoft hasn’t been interested in promoting the Kinect (it’s been out for years) or applying the tech elsewhere, and they’re just shutting it down, the timing being coincidental.
