Kinect dev ups sticks, goes to Google

Johnny Chung Lee, one of the main developers behind Kinect, has left Microsoft for Google.

He made the announcement on his blog.

"Very recently, I have left Microsoft to join a special projects team at Google," said Lee.

"After more than two-and-a-half years working as a core contributor to the human tracking algorithms for Kinect, it was an extremely difficult decision and I leave behind many great colleagues in Redmond."
