Once Nintendo unveiled the Wii console it took the video gaming world by storm. It opened up the world of computer gaming to everybody. By holding a super easy controller and swinging it like a tennis racket you were able to immediately play tennis games on the Nintendo wii console.
There were no complicated buttons to understand or even odd joystick movements which meant that it was readily available to first time video game enthusiasts, both young and old. Now, Microsofts innovative Kinect games system takes things a step forward since now there is no controller in anyway!
The Nintendo wii console was innovative however Microsoft Kinect takes things a little more forward. Much like the Wii console, Kinect utilizes a scanning system which rests on top of your TV.
The difference is though; Kinect scans one's body and also picks up your movements, meaning there’s no need to actually carry a controller in your hands. When you want to select some thing from an onscreen menu all you do is lift your hand and motion which icon you would like to choose. If you are playing a racing video game you simply place both hands as if you are holding a steering wheel!
There’s no requirement to actually pay for an extra steering wheel add-on! In case the state-of-the-art movement technology utilized in kinect isn’t astonishing enough, how about voice recognition as well? Yes, believe it or not, Kinect can comprehend speech instructions with state-of-the-art speech identification software.
It seems apparant that Microsoft’s fresh piece of kit is set to alter the face of video gaming permanently. Since it is an add-on for the Xbox 360 it needs the Xbox 360 unit too. The cost remains undisclosed because Xbox Kinect isn’t due for release until Oct this year.
