Kinect for Windows v2 for developers is out of stock pretty much everywhere. Is it still coming back?

Hi, this is only partly related to the SDK, but I don't where else to ask:
I'm a developer and I want to buy a Kinect for Windows v2. Yet it is out of stock in the Netherlands (where I live) and pretty much every other european country. So far I found some on the australian microsoft store, and the canedian. 
I wonder: why is it out of stock everywhere? Is more stock coming soon or should I try to get one of the last ones in the other countries? Is there any timetable on a release of a commercial (non-developer) version, and might that be why the developer version
is out of stock?
edit: I just spoke to the dutch microsoft store, who said that indeed its out of stock, and is not coming back soon. I then spoke to the canadian microsoft store, who said they do not ship to other countries and I should order with my own microsoft store. So
any info how and when I can get my hands on a Kinect for Windows v2?

The
Kinect for Xbox One is now sold separately. You can use this along with the
Kinect adapter. There is no longer a reason to buy the special made Kinect for Windows when the Xbox One Kinect is the same along with the adapter is essentially the same thing.
You can read more about it here:

Unfortunately, the Kinect for XBox One is also Out of Stock.  Is there a timetable when more will be available?

  • Is kinect for xbox one can use kinnect sdk below 1.8?

    hello, i'm trying to develop some software with kinect. 
    and I've heard that kinect for xbox one 's hardware is pretty better than old one.
    but tech page says nothing about older sdk below 1.8.
    I know that sdk 2.0 is better than old ones.
    but I have some problem with windows 8 and 8.1 (I'm using windows 7 now)
    anyway, my point of Q is this
    : is kinect for xbox one is supported by kinect sdk 1.8 or below?

    No. 
    Kinect for Windows v2/Kinect for XBox One only support the Kinect SDK v2+

  • How To Hide In Stock/Out Of Stock System Wide?

    Hi,
    We are selling items that are setup as Bills of Material. The problem is that they always show as Not In Stock on the website. This is because the stock levels come from OITM (Items in B1) and for BoMs the matching item in B1 does not get a stock level.  Since the item stock level is the one used in Web Tools, I would simply like to hide any warnings about items being 'Not In Stock' because it's not an accurate statement.  I know the customer can still place an order but it might make someone change their mind about ordering an item if they 'think' it's not in stock.
    Is there any system wide setting to hide all stock level indications and warnings about out of stock items?
    Thanks,
    David Wall

    Hello David,
    This is possible, but it is a couple of steps:
    1) In windows explorer navigate to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\b1webtools\catalog\controls\ and open up partpriceblock.ascx with a text editor such as note pad. You want to modify the following lines by putting comment marks around them like this (HTML comment marks are <!---  code you want to hide --->)
         <!---    <asp:Label id="ltlInStock" CssClass="npbody" Runat="server" Visible="False" text="In Stock"></asp:Label>
         <asp:Label id="ltlNotInStock" CssClass="npbody" Runat="server" Visible="False" text="Not in Stock"></asp:Label>   --->
    For the instock/out of stock and
    <!---   <asp:Label id="sysInventoryCount" CssClass="npbody" Visible="False" runat="server"></asp:Label>   --->
    To hide the inventory count.
    2) You will also need to modify the cart.aspx page which can be found in c:\intepub\wwwroot\b1webtools\commerce\ like this:
                    <!---   <asp:imagebutton runat="server" id="imgOutOfStock" imageurl="~/assets/common/icons/warning.gif"
                        visible="False" />
                    <asp:label id="lblOutOfStock" runat="server" text="Some items in your order are on back order"
                        visible="False" cssclass="npwarning"></asp:label>   --->
    3) And lastly the cartdetaillistblock.ascx control which can be found in the controls folder of the above stated directory. Modifying as shown below:
    <!---   <asp:ImageButton Runat="server" ID="imgOutOfStock" ImageUrl="~/assets/common/icons/warning.gif" Visible="False" />
                        <asp:Image Runat="server" ID="imgUnavailable" ImageUrl="~/assets/common/icons/availableno.gif"
                             Visible="False"></asp:Image>  --->
    It should also be noted than an upgrade will overwrite these changes, but in the majority of situations you can reuse the modified ASPX/ASCX pages by overwriting the newer pages with the older modified pages.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Kind Regards,
    James

  • Where can I download example projects for Kinect for Windows v2?

    so for a project I am working on regarding the Kinect v2 I had initially planned on using Matlab to code for the Kinect. However, the code on the Mathworks website regarding the Kinect seems to only work with the Kinect v1 and I cannot figure out how to
    get the v2 to work with Matlab. Now I am in the predicament that I need to use Visual Studio and have never done so before. To make matters worse, all of the guides I can find about programming for the Kinect assume you are very familiar with Visual Studio
    so I get lost before I can even get through the setup (I have no idea what kind of project is best for Kinect, though I intend to use C# as my programming language, or where these settings they are changing are located). If I could just find an example project
    file to download I feel like it would help me a lot, but I cannot seem to find one.
    So my question is thus, is there a place where we can download project files for Visual Studio? I really just need to see what one looks like and what kind of settings it runs on so I know where to get started. It would be awesome if the project file involved
    overlaying the skeletal model on top of people in real time as well.
    If this is not possible, even a video that explains in depth how to go about using visual studio and the Kinect at the same time would be greatly appreciate, or a workaround to get Matlab to work with the Kinect v2.

    Hi Jicnon,
    When you download and install the Kinect SDK, it comes with the Kinect SDK Browser application. This applicaiton is a web based application that contains a bunch of sample projects for getting started with Kinect for windows programming.
    There is also the jumpstart videos here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8428671a-781c-4850-a56d-905ab28f8f8f/mva-jump-start-programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-videos?forum=kinectv2sdk
    To get to the SDK Browswer app just hit the windows button type in "Kinect SDK" and this application should appear.
    There are also some samples in Kinect Common Bridge and a dicussion on using Matlab here:

  • Maximum number of Kinect for Windows v2 Cameras on one PC?

    There is a question about the previous iteration of the Microsoft Kinect for Windows (no longer on sale) here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/63c7c52e-1290-452e-8e04-74330822d16f/maximum-number-of-kinect-cameras-on-one-pc?forum=kinectsdk.
    How many Kinect for Windows v2 sensors can be used on a single PC? And if this is limited to 1, is this a software, or a hardware restriction?

    Are there plans for this to change, or be lifted?
    No.  No product roadmap anyway.
    The reasoning requires you to look at it from an engineering standpoint.  The Kinect uses a lot (more than half) of the available bus bandwidth to operate normally.  So even though you could physically connect two or more sensors, there is no feasible
    way to have them both sustain enough of a data rate for them to operate normally using the existing hardware.
    I'm no hardware expert, but from what I have been told, the solution is harder than just having multiple USB 3.0 controllers in the same PC.
    As for "plans for this to change", rest assured that people want this, and that there are clever engineers thinking about solutions, but due to technical limitations, there is no product roadmap yet that allows for multiple kinects sensors on a
    single PC.  And because of the technological limitations, it will never just be "lifted".  The hardware needs to change for this to work.
    Another thing to consider is that, from a physics standpoint, Kinects
    do interfere with each other (slightly) when operating in the same space.  It's not at all dissimilar from two people trying to have a conversation in the same room -- some words of the conversation will be missed.  The more people in the
    room, the more difficult it is to hear one another.  For the Kinect, the quality of the depth results, for example, is diminished by having two kinects operating in the same space, but the visible light cameras continue to operate unimpeded.  The
    sensor is cleverly designed to "tolerate" the light patterns from other kinects, but they can't completely ignore those patterns and conflicts do occur --  so it
    does degrade slightly with noise from each additional sensor.  It's using invisible light, so the problem tends to be "out of sight, out of mind" for us as users.  But at some (modest) limit, it becomes mathematically impossible
    to multiplex the light patterns from additional Kinects using the current specs (somewhere around 16 kinects based on the patterns, IIRC).
    So there are other physical and technological hurdles to overcome with operating multiple Kinects in the same space, even if they were all connected to different PCs connected in a network cluster or something like that.

  • Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

    I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
    be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
    time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
    simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
    I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
    to here that as well.
    Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
    THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
    I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

    Hi Jicnon,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
    more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
    ,maybe you will get better support.
    In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

  • Kinect for Windows v2 Sensor a dead SKU?

    This isn't just out of stock on Microsoft Store. It is gone entirely from the listing and from search results. Is the sensor package dead as a standalone SKU? In other words, moving forward will it only be possible to purchase the Kinect for XBox One Sensor
    + Kinect Adapter for Windows?
    I work for a US NPO (university) and thus need to purchase this sans tax. Thus the existing inventory on Amazon won't work. And of course this combo is actually $15 more for us since the 10% educational discount will only apply to the adapter, not the sensor.
    Used to be:
    Sensor: $200 - 10% = $180
    Now:
    Sensor: $150
    Adapter: $50 -10% = $45
    Total: $195
    Cost really isn't a huge deal. Just want to know whether it is feasible to wait a little bit to see the original K4W sensor SKU restored.
    Thanks!

    I don't have any information on stock, but if you need sensors you will have to decide on what type of lead time you need and whether stock will show up. If you need them for a particular time/date purchasing the adapter/Xbox One sensor is the recommendation.

  • Kinect for Windows V2 Device cannot start

    I was able to use my Kinect for Windows V2 sensor yesterday with all of the applications in the SDK browser but the next day after restarting my computer I was no longer able to use the device. Looking at the device manager I get this message under the properties
    for WDF KinectSensor Interface 0 (the only device listed under Kinect sensor devices):
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    I'm plugged into a USB 3.0 input. Any ideas?

    I encounter the exact same issue:
    WDF KinectSensor Interface 0
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    I'm using an Intel 4ghz i7 processor plugged into an ASUS Sabertooth Mk1 Z97 Motherboard. The ASMedia on the board had some issues, so i'm using a USB 3.0 PCI/E card by Manhatten. Diagnostics indicates that everything but depth checks out. Depth fails because
    the camera reports all black.
    This is particularly frustrating since I built this computer to offer USB 3.0 support specifically so I could do work with Kinect and Unity. This was before I knew the issues Kinect has with ASMedia, so for me this has been a significant investment for a
    black screen.
    Edit: To clarify, the Kinect is plugged into the PCI/E card (Manhatten 150491) and not into the board or a case slot.
    Additonal note: The Kinect does not function properly plugged into my old PC (a USB 2.0 with an i7) or into my Surface Pro (1st gen)

Help

    The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify.  What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation.  What you want to do is make it boot into OS X.  As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on.  You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from.  Choose OS X.  After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X.  What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
    Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition.

    in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
    note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
    also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.
