> Kinect was released (November 4, 2010) a little before this article and presented another vision of future, but the market didn't think so

The Kinect has pretty much dried up for video games, but the company that developed the first version of the Kinect for Microsoft was later purchased by Apple, and their technology underpins the FaceID tech that appears in every iOS device these days.

(Apple has also had rear-facing Lidar on their iPads & iPhones for a few years now, and I believe that it is also an evolution of the Kinect tech, but I don't know for sure.)

I am disappointed that it withered away for video games, since it was really interesting & fun technology.
