I think it's a little BS, but a sensor that can track and calculate a persons movements does have some concerning applications if used in the wrong hands. Namely hook a gun into being able to target via the Kinects output and it'll be able to headshot every time.
Considering that 'duck and weave' has greater survival odds than kevlar, a computer that can accurately track it in 3D space is exceptionally creepy for potential autonomous military actions.
Most human marksman have difficulty with this, and via armed drones they're likely less accurate. This could offer a 'push-to-kill' system for military drones.
However, we all know it's because microsoft wants to make money off of all applications for it.
