Citing a development source from Microsoft, Eurogamer is reporting that the next Kinect will be so accurate that it will be able to read lips.  If that turns out to be true, it could not only be a huge improvement on the motion sensing device itself, but also a plus for gamers who are physically disabled and need to utilize more voice commands.

According to the source, “Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing.” 

The source is also claiming that it will be able to send more information to the next gen Xbox. ” It can be cabled straight through on any number of technologies that just take phenomenally high res data straight to the main processor and straight to the main RAM and ask, what do you want to do with it?”

With rumors of the next Xbox debuting next year and launching holiday season 2013, could the Kinect 2 be releasing along side of it?

I'd be pissed if I owned a Kinect and Kinect 2 released next year.

Tell me about it. I at least thought the Kinect would be around for 5 years before they decided to make a new one.
