The cutting-edge technology behind Xbox Kinect
The Kinect for Xbox and Xbox 360 is a companion unit that promises to make game controllers obsolete. Originally known as Project Natal, Xbox Kinect is capable of capturing player movement and incorporating it with the Kinect video games being played. The technology was inspired by the same technology behind the Nintendo Wii remote control and MotionPlus system. However, the Kinect is much better than the Wii in some obvious ways.
The Xbox Kinect unit is a horizontal bar attached to a base with a pivot that is motorized. The Kinect is designed to sit under the TV screen. The components of the device feature an RGB camera, a depth sensor, and a multi-array microphone. These features make Kinect for Xbox highly capable of 3D motion and voice capture, as well as facial recognition. Aside from its gaming capabilities, Kinect also enables headset-free video chat via Xbox Live.
The depth sensor has the power to see in 3D regardless of any light condition thanks to its infrared projector and a monochrome CMOS sensor. As for the detection range of the sensor, it has the power to calibrate the physical environment around the player with the help of the Kinect software. So, apart from the player, it can also sense the presence of other things like the room table, plants, and even your pets within its vision range. With advanced Xbox Kinect technology, you can track at least six people simultaneously, making for a fun gaming experience with friends and family. It doesn’t matter if you have a spacious or congested space, as long as you’re within the 3.9 to 11 foot range, the fun is still ready for you to enjoy Kinect gaming.
As complex as it may seem, the goal of Xbox Kinect is simple: to bring high-tech fun to the comfort of your own living room. Your gaming experience will break the limits of buttons and wired limits. The Xbox Kinect is the next generation of gaming. There are games to consider, and there are reliable Kinect accessories on the market today to boost its looks and durability.
