A tech demonstration for Microsoft's Xbox One Kinect recently caused a stir online, with some speculating Xbox One could see through clothing, exposing a man's penis. The video, Behind the Eyes of Kinect, which you can see below, showcases the degree to which the device detects detail. Some alleged that this indicated Kinect's capability of seeing someone's genitalia, but that's simply not the case.

"First, if you watch the video you will see that what is being represented here is a fold in the denim," a Microsoft representative told IGN. "There is no tech magic going on here and Kinect cannot see through clothing. Furthermore, the video was an illustration of the various camera views available for the creation of games and apps. This view is only accessible on a development kit and is not viewable on retail consoles."Kinect is more accurate than ever , but it won't be sharing sensitive skin with the world -- not that we could access this particular view if we tried.
