In Microsoft’s vision of the future, Kinect sensors are everywhere: In your living room, your kitchen, at school, and even in the supermarket, above the fruit display.

Interactive television shows for children are in the works, including a new Sesame Street series and a show called National Geographic Wild.

Microsoft now says that more than 300 companies are working on products that will use the Kinect, including the Whole Foods and Nissan projects I mentioned above.

Last year, Mundie said, about 90 percent of the Kinect projects by outside developers were based on the gestural interface. This year, an increasing proportion are using its equally-impressive voice interface.
