Today Mobile World Congress kickoff event was all about the next Hololens, but Microsoft still had some surprises up its sleeve.

One of the more interesting additions is the Azure Kinect, a new enterprise camera system that leverages the company perennially 3D imaging technology to create a 3D camera for enterprises.

The device is actually a kind of companion hardware piece for Hololens in the enterprise, giving business a way to capture depth sensing and leverage its Azure solutions to collect that data. &Azure Kinect is an intelligent edge device that doesn&t just see and hear but understands the people, the environment, the objects and their actions,& Azure VP Julia White said at the kick off of today event.

&The level of accuracy you can achieve is unprecedented.& What started as a gesture-based gaming peripheral for the Xbox 360 has since grown to be an incredibly useful tool across a variety of different fields, so it tracks that the company would seek to develop a product for business.

And unlike some of the more far off Hololens applications, the Azure Kinect is the sort of product that could be instantly useful, right off the the shelf. A number of enterprise partners have already begun testing the technology, including Datamesh, Ocuvera and Ava, representing an interesting cross-section of companies.

The system goes up for pre-order today, priced at $399.
