The New Xbox 360 with Kinect
The Xbox 360 Kinect aka Project Natal is here and will revolutionize the video game-playing experience. The New Xbox 360 Kinect has been declared to be a major development by Microsoft as it will completely change the way the games are played. There’s no denying that Kinect is a fascinating piece of technology that has the potential to help continue the evolution of gaming into new and exciting frontiers. The Wii from Nintendo was the first ever device to incorporate user movement into game controls, then came the Sony Move. But the Xbox Kinect has taken it one giant step farther. It has completely eliminated the need for hand held controllers. YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER. Microsoft has come up with a new component which simply uses the voice and the body to control the game. This new vision and audio sensor has completely changed the way the games work. The effect is nothing short of astonishing, especially for non-gamers
How Exactly Does the Xbox 360 Kinect System works?
First, the cool stuff: the Xbox Kinect is pretty freakin’ slick. Remember the 2008 elections on CNN? Imaging showing your friends how you can navigate menus on your TV like they do on the news or even the way Tom Cruise did in Minority Report. Some game genres that would be totally impossible using a traditional control system, or even motion controllers, are brilliantly realized on Kinect, especially dancing and “sports” titles. And, technically speaking, the Kinect is easily one of the most advanced pieces of technology that gamers have ever had the privilege of getting our grubby little hands on.
- Jump, dodge, and kick your way through exciting adventures and Sports Games.
- Xbox 360 console includes built-in Wi-Fi for easy connection to Xbox LIVE, and comes with matching black controller and headset
- Get off the couch and into the game by using your body as the controller with Kinect
- Control your Xbox 360 with a single gesture or wave of the hand
- Connect with friends and family with easy and interactive game play, video chat, and more
Unlike, say, the Wii or Playstation Move, which rely on a sensor receiving information from a controller, Kinect continuously projects an infra-red 3D box around your game room, and tracks movements within that box. Its tracking ability is so fine-tuned that it’s able to recognize facial features and log you into XBOX Live just by looking at your face. It does have some trouble in certain lighting conditions, but most of the doom and gloom you’ve heard about this is hype: you just need to make sure to calibrate the Kinect once for each set of lighting conditions you want to play in, and it’ll be fine from then on. It’s also got complex voice-recognition capabilities, allowing you to communicate clearly with your buddies without the need for a headset, even if there’s some ambient noise. The voice and body movement recognition controls the games. A particular game has its own movements involved like jumping, running in place, waving the arms etc. One amazing feature of Kinect includes the built in facial recognition system which detects whether a kid or an elderly person is talking.
A minimum of 175 MB of space is required for the Kinect to download the software. And don’t forget that if you already own the Xbox 360, you’ll be able to connect it to the Kinect. But it has to be upgraded with The New Xbox 360 software because Kinect does not work with the older version that is on the Xbox.
With the above said features, don’t you think the New Xbox 360 Kinect is worth a price?
