Microsoft Kinect: How does it work
Let's cut out all the hoopla and jargon and go straight to the point.
What is the new Kinect from Microsoft.
Kinect is an Xbox 360 peripheral that plugs into the consoles USB port.
How does it work.
With the new Kinect you can now play games on the Xbox without the need of any controllers. Kinect comes with sensors that have a camera and microphone. That enable you to interact with the system using gestures, spoken commands and other objects.
This was originally called "Project Natal" which has since been rechristened "Kinect".
Kinect is much more smarter than an average webcam. it can track 48 points across your body for up to 2 players thanks to it's secret trick of spotlighting the entire room with infrared light. Equipped with a microphone you can talk to it, it also has face recognition so you can sign in by looking at it. So you can control the start button by reaching for it with you hand in the air off-course. If you are on Xbox live you can watch a video together with your friend.
Coming on November 4th. Take a look at the videos to find out more.
