Microsoft?s next-generation Kinect device will be so accurate it can lip read. It has also been stated that future Xbox consoles will ship with Kinect 2 built in.

Sources speaking to Eurogamer have claimed that the unannounced Kinect 2 will be able to read facial expressions and detect a variety of emotions through the user?s tone. Improved motion-sensing and voice-recognition technology are expected to be installed.

The depth sensor in the current Kinect device was set to 30 frames per second upon the November 2010 launch, offering a 320?240 resolution limit.

The limitation comes as multiple USB devices can be simultaneously used on an Xbox 360 console.
