Microsoft announces Xbox Kinect motion-controlled gaming

3D

Microsoft’s Kinect was announced at a huge performance at the 2010 E3 trade show. The Xbox Kinect is the official name for the Natal project Microsoft announced last year. To control the games and features on the Xbox Kinect, the user is expected to use their whole body. Release of the Microsoft Kinect will probably be in November, and also the Kinect could be sold as an add-on to the XBox 360 gaming system.

The way the Microsoft Kinect operates

The Microsoft Kinect system uses a two-camera system to capture motion. Depth is captured by one camera, when another takes RGB color photographs and video. Combined, these cameras can re-create full body motion.This means there could be no controllers and no separation between game and player.
