Xbox Kinetic is the innovative new way to control your console, bringing video games and home entertainment to life. With the Xbox 360 Kinect, conventional handheld game controllers could be a thing of the past; Now it’s just you and your Xbox 360!

What exactly is Xbox 360 Kinect?

The actual Xbox Kinect Sensor Unit is a fairly small piano black device that sits on top of or even below your TV. The Kinect is equipped with three advanced digital cameras located inside the unit. The middle camera is RGB and can detect if there is someone waiting in front of the real sensor. He is able to detect twenty individual points of articulation for each and every person, which helps him develop a good picture of the action they are performing. The other two cameras on either side of the RGB camera work together to develop a 3D image of the room. The cameras can track 6 players at any one time, which in turn creates an interactive multiplayer gaming experience.

With Kinect, you’ll experience a whole new, easy-to-use world of gaming and home entertainment. The wizardry of technological knowledge that powers Xbox 360 Kinect puts you at the heart of the game by monitoring your general body movements, facial expressions and even your voice. Kinect responds to all actions performed by the user making all on-screen interactions very easy to use and intuitive.
