Of course you do! Now we are pleased to announce two important developments in the quest to make Kinect functionality available to UWP apps.

I wanted this demo to have more moving parts to improve the experience and also demonstrate some cool technology. First is voice recognition. Proper voice recognition typically takes a pretty decent computer and a good OS. This isn’t something you’d generally do on an Arduino alone; it’s simply not designed for that kind of workload.
