Full Kinect Description and Features
The Kinect or Xbox 360 Kinect is a small sensor that sits in front of the TV that is connected to the Xbox 360. It is a motion sensing device that moves with the player, features voice command and allows games to be played without touching the controller. It is similar in the way that the Nintendo Wii works although the gestures and voice control are slightly different. The infra-red device 'locks on' to 3D movement in the room and has a depth sensor as well as an RGB camera to ensure that the movements are directly displayed or control the game on the TV.
The Kinect uses incredible technology from Microsoft which recognises voices, faces and gestures of the player. It can even manage to track six different players simultaneously. Although it will work with the older versions of the XBOX 360 the latest XBOX 360 S features an auxiliary connector to draw power from for the motorised unit, rather than taking up too many USB ports. The Xbox 360 Kinect unit brings a new wave of gaming to people's homes.
As there are already millions of Xbox owners, adding the latest device, which sold 8 million in the first two months of releases, has obviously been very well received. The natural user interface and the ability to recognise and differentiate between voices and faces is simply fantastic and it's no wonder it's so popular.
