The official Kinect for WIndows SDK is out and you can grab it here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/overview.aspx

 

 

The key points are:

  • As long as you use a Kinect for Windows sensor (not the XBox360 one) and the official SDK, you can develop commercial applications using Kinect technologies.
  • New near mode for depth values (no skeleton tracking in this version) which enables the depth camera to see objects as close as 40 centimeters
  • Up to 4 sensors can be connected to the same computer

 

Alongside with the SDK a new sensor is available. If you want to buy it ($249.99), you can go there:

Of course the Kinect Toolbox 1.1.1 is also out and supports the final version of Kinect for Windows SDK:
