Just What Is The New Microsoft Xbox Kinect?

By Jon Claus


The Xbox Kinect looks a likely candidate to be one of the best Christmas gifts for 2010. Read on to learn more.

The Microsoft Xbox Kinect is the newest big release from the team at Xbox 360. It is the advent of controller free games and immersive game play like never before. You don't need a controller, your body becomes your controller via an avatar. With this new dimension in video gaming, you are taken deeper and deeper into the gaming experience. The way you interact with a game will change the way you look at motion control forever.

The Kinect works via self tracking, through its infrared and blue, red, and green camera. It makes every game title you play that much more enjoyable, and sports a real immersive experience like no other game. If your friends drop over while you are in the middle of a game, no problem, they can simply jump right in without restarting the game. With its 48 point tracking and it's amazing facial recognition software, the Kinect is further blurring the line between game worlds and the real world.

1If you and some friends feel like staying in and watching a movie, you can just say "Netflix" out loud, and the Kinect will load your Netflix right on your Xbox, letting you choose what movie you want with a simple wave of your hand, or just saying the title of the movie you wish to see.

Xbox Kinect biggest serious contender is the already very well established Nintendo Wii. Where Xbox wins over the Wii is that the Wii requires controllers to be used, the Kinect doesn't. The Kinect offers much more freedom of movement than the Wii as you are not restricted by the limitations of movement of a controller. You actually feel as though you are part the game, as opposed to just being beside it.

The Kinect is changing the face of home gaming / entertainment in new and radical way. And it's not just for the younger gaming crowd. The Kinect appeals to people of all ages by getting them off their butts, onto their feet and into the game. This is the type of thing that people see, and just have to have a go at for themselves.
