The Xbox 360, Microsoft's second generation Xbox console, has been a huge hit since its release in 2005 with overfortyfour million units sold worldwide. This phenomenal success is set to continue at an even greater rate once the revolutionary Kinect is released.
For those of you who have not heard, the Kinect is an incredible addition to an Xbox 360 which allows gamers to play hands free, or in other words without the need for a controller. Instead of bashing away at buttons, the Kinect user can control play using body movements and voice controls. In essence it appears to be the natural successor to the Wii and the PS3 move. We predict that everyone will soon be looking to get an Xbox 360.
The technology behind the Kinect is very impressive. The horizontal Kinect sensor, designed to be placed below your TV, features a camera, depth sensor, and microphone. It is through this sensor the Xbox is able to facilitate 3D motion capture, facial recognition, and voice recognition, all of which allows for a playing experience the likes of which have never been seen.
