Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect Sensor: Includes Kinect Adventures

Product Information

The feeling starts when it first scans your face as you start a new game and places your avatar on screen, and carries on when you wiggle an arm or shake a leg and realise that your avatar is copying you exactly. There is lag, and you can see this in the efforts that some games have made to get around this. However, in the sorts of game that Kinect does well, it’s really not that much of an issue. It’s not the technical limitations that will stay with you, but that all-important sense of fun.

As others experiment with what might be Xbox’s Wii equivalent, Tsunoda, Bennett, and Kipman, along with a small team, work on their own skunkworks project based around depth cameras and depth sensing. The key difference between this and the previous depth initiative is that the new effort brings machine learning into the mix, to identify a user’s skeleton with PrimeSense’s technology. They make several different demos, and, much like with the Wii before it, they pitch new ways to engage with games, ditching the standard controller in favor of a camera that can read the human body’s movements, translating that data into on-screen actions. a b "Xbox 360′s Kinect given release date for Australia".
