At least that’s what Microsoft is hoping the device will be able to do in the future. Though perhaps some of the things described may seem a bit uncanny as stated by Eurogamer:
Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing. Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states.
The device is expected to be bundled with the next iteration of the Xbox.
More augmented reality? Personally, I’d prefer a physical violin.

they didnt mention the fact that you need to be on the other side of the apartment for it to work
maybe a slight exaggeration
That’s cool and all but I can’t help but feel it’s a gimmick… That forza kinect presentation simply ruined it for me. “YOU HAVE KINECT? YOU CAN OPEN THE DOORS OF THE CARS AND THE HOODS AND EVEN THE BOOTS! IT’S AWESOME!”
-_-
Being able to lip read and detect voice pitch and volume seem possible, and would be a great addition if done right. Everything they showed in the video would definitely be welcome capabilities, with the exception of the instrument playing. I don’t think that would be possible to be done right, and is not practical even if it was possible. Some things need to remain physical…
