During the tutorial, or the on the home screen, it will NOT show the hand on the screen, i have to guess where it is to move it around, I tried kinect sports preseason, the hand shows up there, but not on the home screen.

Can it be something with my projector or receiver not passing color correctly or not being able to display a certain color? (BenQ W1070 with Denon AVR-1613)

Also is there any way to change the backgorund color onthe home screen? black is so meh.

Look thru this
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/kinect/common-gestures
The gestures take correct movement to activate so they just don't pop up all the time.
There is a setting also that disables gestures during video

There are no background customizations yet.

The gesture activates, I know because it will highlight different tiles as I move my hand accross and around, I can even select things, the problem is the hand is not displaying.

EVen in the tutorial, it says "you've just made a hand appear on the screen" but nothing displays.
I'm going to connect my monitor tonight and see if it makes a difference.
 
Interesting... If you haven't tried this already, I'd attempt a hard reset. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds or so, until the Xbox turns off. Wait a minute and then turn the Xbox back on. This will clear the system's cache, and reset a few different things. I think you can also do this from the system settings (SETTINGS -> SYSTEM -> RESTART).

Restarting from system settings does not clear cache only holding the power button does.

To clear cache and shut down the only method currently is to hold power button on console for ten seconds make sure power brick goes to orange then go ahead and power back up by pressing button on system. This is Xbox supports recommended method.
 
Or just unplug the Kinect and get on with your life.
 
Just wanted to let you know there is some improvements getting pushed out soon so be patient those of us in the beta just got this update tonight.
We have started to deploy the latest update for you to preview: 1405 (xb_rel_1405. 10938.0.140429-2200). Consoles that are in standby mode will be able to install the update starting at 4:00PM PDT on May 2nd. If you want it right away, feel free to use the new System Updates button! Simply check Settings>System, and if you see System update, click it to start your update. Consoles that have not received the update in standby mode or via the manual update button by 1:00AM PDT on May 4th will be prompted to install the update when they connect to Xbox Live.


Let’s take a look at some of the changes and fixes you’ll be seeing in the coming update!


Improvements and Fixes


◦Several improvements to Kinect gesture controls, including better tracking of hands, fingers, and a user’s head.


◦Updates to the Kinect IR blasting feature to address reported issues, resulting in better control over certain devices.


◦Underlying OS changes required to enable planned 1405 features.



New Additions


◦Snap and Kinect Audio Controls. We know you loved the brief view of the UI for this feature in the last wave, but it wasn’t quite ready. It’s now ready for everyone to give it a go! Adjust the volume differences between apps when you have one open in Snap, or adjust how much softer the audio is made when using Kinect for communication.


◦Opt-In to help us improve Speech Recognition. We’re always looking to make Kinect Voice Recognition more accurate, and the more voices we have to fine tune our algorithms, the better it can be! As such, we’ve added an option under Settings>Privacy & Online Safety>Customizing privacy and online safety titled Share Voice Data. Setting this to “Allow” will send allow to use your voice data to make Kinect Voice Recognition better.


◦Test the System Update button! Now that the System Update button is available, we hope you’ll put it to use as new updates become available in this Wave! Try it out, and let us know of any issues you run into.

And this is some stuff coming too

Thanks for all of the great feedback during the 14.04 wave.
