Xbox 360 Console With Kinect
There was a time when Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo’s two main video game competitors, scoffed at the user interface of the Wii. Particularly, the way the player’s movements control the motion on the screen, but that have changed recently. The Kinect for the Xbox 360 promises to bring these technologies to the next level. The Kinect sensor allows you to play games and engage with your Xbox 360 console in ways we haven’t seen before and it is a lot of fun as well.
Just like the Nintendo Wii, the Xbox 360 console with Kinect makes use of a sensor bar to find out wherever a player is, and what they are doing. However, the Wii still needs the use of a controller (both hand-held, or a foot board). The Kinect, on the other side, gets rid of the controller all together. Instead, it uses a number of unique proprietary sensors within the bar, which includes the camera and sound detection. There is additionally facial recognition software to let the unit “see” who is playing. Simply because there is no longer a controller, players interact with games by making various gestures or with voice commands. Because Kinect users multiple cameras to track your movements, it is very precise.
The Kinect can be obtained as an add-on if you have any model of Xbox 360 which supports it. But you can also buy a new Xbox 360 console with Kinect system which includes the sensor bar. You can choose from two bundles:
- Xbox 360 with 250 GB hard drive and the Kinect sensor, or
- Xbox 360 with 4 GB of memory and the Kinect sensor.
The decision is yours, but it may be a smarter idea to get a total new console to make certain there are no compatibility issues. Read more at http://xbox360consolewithkinect.com/.
