KINECT-ThE REAL GAMING EXPERIENCE

Gaming has always been a passion for me and i think the new KINECT-XBOX which came out of THE PROJECT NATAL, is waiting for me.

I am truely charmed by the new features this small box is tagged up with:-)

This box comes with:-

It will include an Xbox 360 wireless controller, Xbox 360 headset, HDMI output, USB flash drive storage capabilities and more, available this week and priced at $300. ... I already have a Wii, but I am mightily tempted to buy the 360 with Kinect, too.)
Microsoft said it will link Kinect with Zune Pass music, so users can control the music streaming over Xbox Live with voice and gesture commands. It also plans to link Video Kenect via Xbox Live to Windows Live Messenger. The goal of that is to make video chat more interactive than it is today.
Last night's demonstration made Kinect look amazing! Look at the voice and gesture controls that can be used during movies. Never search for the remote again.

As the controller is cool and geeky, the current generation of gamers is likely to adapt to it. Also, the Kinect will be a direct upgrade for Xbox users playing with handheld controllers. As such, the Xbox coupled with Kinect will be a big bonus for gamers who don’t want to buy another console like Wii for solely motion sensitive games.
Kinect carries lenses that sense color and depth, a microphone that recognizes voice commands and motors that allow array and tilt adjustments. It has a horizontal field view of 57 degrees and a vertical field view of 43 degrees. Plus, it boasts of a physical tilt range of about + 27 degrees. The range of the depth sensors vary between 1.2 & 3.5 meter.
The Kinect offers support for data streams of 320x240, 16 bit, at 30 frames per sec and 640x480, 32 bit, at 30 frames per sec with color. Audio is 16 bit, processed at 16 kHz. In addition, it comes with an in-built voice recognition system and is supported by an echo cancellation system, which enhances voice commands.
Logging into Xbox Live accounts is more secure as it is done through voice and facial recognition. The interface of the system can be browsed by hand gestures as well.
