I want to develop a Kinect app. My question is: Do I need some special hardware or can I use my own XBox and Kinect. In other words, will I use my Kinect to test and use my app after finished?

You can use the Xbox Kinect to develop and test all your applications, the noticeable change on the hardware is the new
"near mode", which allows you to track pixels closer to the sensor/camera:The other changes are basically on the SDK (like
JointIDare now calledJointType), new methods and objects with easier and improved controls, and all of them work with the Xbox Kinect.But keep in mind that if you want to sell your app or something like that, you’ll need to use the Kinect for Windows hardware, as the license for the Xbox Kinect only allows it to be sold with an Xbox.
