How Windows 10 implements face recognition with Kinect

To use Microsoft Biometrics, in addition to installing Windows 10, you need hardware that supports face recognition. But some computers don't have such a device. What should I do at this time? The good news is that we can implement face recognition with Kinect.

Microsoft has prepared a Beta test version of the driver, so for Windows Kinect v2 and applies to Xbox One's Kinect can also be used for face recognition function of Windows10.

Specific operation method:

1. First, you need an adapter that connects Windows10 computer and Kinect;

2, then you need to do a minor surgery on the system to get Kinect Beta driver update:

- Press Win+R to open the run, enter regedit and press Enter to open the registry editor;

- Navigate to HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\

- Create a subkey \\DriverFlighting\\Partner\\

3. Create a new project named "ldRear" in the \\Partner subkey and set its value to "Drivers".

You don't need to restart your computer, then you can update the Kinect Beta driver in Windows Update or Device Manager.

The above is the way Windows 10 implements the face recognition function with Kinect, so that you can use the Windows 10 face recognition function instead of changing the computer as long as you connect a Kinect.
