The new Xbox 360 system has been getting a lot of attention with its 4 gigabytes of memery and glossy finish, but what gamers are really getting excited about is the soon to be released Kinect.
The Kinect Console Bundle will sell for $300 starting November 4 (just in time for Christmas season). That includes a new Xbox 360, the Kinect sensor and the Kinect Adventures game. If you already own an Xbox 360 then you only pay $150 for the Kinect sensor.
Kinect is a controller free gaming experience, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without needing to touch a game controller. So the player uses gestures and spoken commands to control the game something that is a unique experience among game consoles.
Kinect is based on software technology developed internally by Microsoft and range camera technology by Israeli developer PrimeSense, which interprets 3D scene information from a continuously-projected infrared pattern. The technology recognizes gestures, faces, and voices, and it has the ability to track up to 6 people at a time.
We are looking forward to seeing the Kinect in action! And we’re looking forward to all the new and inventive games that will accompany it!
