## What it is
WinDurango is an Xbox One compatibility (translation) layer for Windows that lets users run ERA-based Xbox One UWP games natively on a PC. It implements essential Xbox WinRT interfaces, KernelX, and D3D11.X, with experimental Kinect support.

## Use cases
- play Xbox One games on Windows
- run Xbox One UWP titles on PC
- translate Xbox One system calls to Windows
- test ERA-based games outside the console
- emulate Xbox One D3D11.X graphics on desktop

## When to choose
- you want to play supported Xbox One games on a Windows PC
- you need a compatibility layer rather than full hardware emulation
- you want to contribute to Xbox One translation-layer development

## When to avoid
- you need full Xbox One console emulation with perfect compatibility
- you rely on Kinect features, which are untested and experimental
- you are on macOS or Linux, as it targets Windows only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: simulation, graphics, game
- domain: gaming-tools, simulation, windows
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: xbox-one, compatibility-layer, emulation, uwp, translation-layer
