Build is over and there were some cool announcements as well as sessions related to Kinect for Windows v2. I’ve added links below to the Kinect sessions as well as some additional sessions I found interesting.
The second of these links concerns using Kinect v2 for Windows Store apps (they only run on Win8 Pro, not WinRT – but still pretty cool).

Since Kinect was initially designed for XBox, I found these XBox One sessions pretty enlightening:

Here’s a session on how to develop newly announced “universal apps” – which isn’t directly tied to Kinect development, but may be one day:

Finally, here’s an all-too-short channel 9 panel discussion with friend Rick Barraza from Microsoft and some dudes from Obscura and Stimulant talking about design and dropping some great one-liners I plan to steal and so can you (note the excellent use of the $12K 46-inch massive multi-touch Perceptive Pixel device in the background):
