For those of you who haven't already heard, Microsoft unveiled its next-generation Xbox One game console in late May, containing a bundled next-generation "Kinect 2.0" peripheral. Whereas the first-generation Kinect employs a structured light approach to 3-D sensing, "Kinect 2.0" leverages a time-of-flight technique courtesy of Microsoft's 2010 acquisition of Canesta. The included image sensor
