Windows Hello webcams for desktop?

[anon(5348756)]

With Windows 10 a month away, I want to buy a depth camera to use Hello authentication on my desktop. I cannot find anything on Amazon (other than a Creative dev kit which seems sketchy to buy as a non-consumer product).

Does anyone know if there's any such camera planned for release soon? I'm preparing my wedding registry coincidentally, so it would make for a nice wedding gift

Thanks!

Hi, maybe this will work with windows hello
http://ebay.us/Wlpm6B

I would ask the seller first to x confirm if it works with that feature before purchasing.

Have a nice day

Yeah, I had seen that on Amazon too:

Amazon.com: Creative Senz3D Depth and Gesture Recognition Camera for Personal Computers: Computers & Accessories

However there is no indication that it'll support Hello authentication, other than a support page mentioning Windows 10 drivers:

Creative Worldwide Support

Bottom line, no idea... :/

That's what I like about eBay, click on ask the seller and they should give you some answer.

I guess it's worth a try, but unless the seller were Creative or Intel directly, I very much doubt that an eBay seller would know about depth camera release dates before online media... specially considering they're selling it at a ridiculous markup comparing to the MSRP from Amazon.

There was some info from one of the Windows Insider managers on Twitter last week:
