What’s new for Xbox 360? The 360 Kinect!

You don’t need a controller with the Kinect, instead you use your body to control things. You’re the avatar for the game.

The Kinect beaks what is known as the “fourth wall” of gaming. It draws you further into the further into the gaming experience, taking you deeper than ever before. The way you can interact with the game will alter how you look at motion control.
 

So how does Kinect work?

Kinect responds to how you move. If you need to kick or jump in the game, then just do it! Kinect responds to the sound of your voice. It moves with self tracking, through its infrared; and red, blue, and green camera. Kinect has facial recognition software, and 48 point tracking.

All you have to do is say “Xbox” to reveal a series of voice commands. That means you can control HD movies with the sound of your voice instead of having to use a remote control.

If you want to watch a movie, for instance, all you have to do is say “Netflix” and the Kinect will automatically connect to Netflix. You can choose what movie you want to see by either waving your hand or just saying the title of the movie you want to watch.  It also has Zune built right in!

And if you need to pause a movie or game to go make some popcorn or get a pizza, why, all you have to do is say “pause” or reach up and punch the pause button in thin air.

The Xbox 360 Kinect Is A Game Changer

The Kinect is innovative and changing the home entertainment experience in new ways. This isn’t just for kids either. People of all ages like the fact they are up and moving with the game instead of just sitting on the couch punching buttons on a controller.

This is the kind of thing that people see, then just have to try for themselves.

Kinect Comparisons

The Nintendo Wii is probably the closest thing to the new Xbox 360 Kinect. However, the Wii uses controllers, and the Kinect does not. It offers much more versatility with your freedom of movement. It draws you into the game, instead of feeling like your controlling it from outside of it.

With the Sony PS3, although it also has movement capture technology, once again, it also has controllers. This limits your interaction with the game.
