The all seeing eye of KINECT 2.0 will detect the amount of people in the room where the machine locates in. The movie won't play unless you pay more money.

You cannot cover it or block it with anything. Putting a picture in front of it won't work either. KINECT 2.0 can "see" how many hearts are beating in a room.

To address the question of the age of the patent. Yes, the patent is old. But we have been told by UK industry sources within the last month that this system will be implemented on Xbox One.

ExtremeTech discovered the filing back in November, which is labelled as covering "content distribution regulation by viewing user." Theoretically, if the Kinect establishes there are more people in the room than is permitted according to the licence that users agree to when renting of purchasing content, the movie won't play.

"The users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken,"
it reads.
