Will I be able to extend the cable length of the new Kinect sensor for home theater installs? Xbox One will be in a different room then the Kinect. With the old Kinect you could use usb repeaters/extenders. A 25ft and 50ft extension cable would be a great accessory product for MS to release to go with the Kinect. Would make lots of folks with projectors happy. I have a media closet that is in my theater and its about 8 feet from the xbox but I have to run a cable up the ceiling and back down again to get to it. So its about 30 feet away.

Oh, what you're probably asking is, can you have the Red Bull X1 Prototype and your Xbox 360 Kinect in different rooms? If not, that would be a bummer.

Ha... Nope just the new xbox one and the new Kinect... but that Red Bull X1 Prototype is amazing!

I read somewhere that it could see through walls if that helps.

No idea, but I'm trying to understand what you're doing. Are you going to be swapping between your TV/projector and play Kinect games with a projector? Or is there some other use?

@alexglass: I have a theater room. I only have a projector in this room and my av/gaming consoles are in a media closet. So the screen is far away from the xbox.

Haha, yeah that was stupid. it was actually just this article.

Not the current Kinect 2.0 just the 'Kinect of the Future'.

I'm pretty sure it's USB 3.0 and proprietary which means there is no guarantee that an extension cable will work. This is a good question and I'm surprised Microsoft has not thought of this.
