Quote:
"It has four microphones and three little lenses: a video camera, an
infrared projector and a distance sensor. Together, these lenses determine
where you are in the room. And not just you. The system tracks 48 parts of
your body in three-dimensional space. It doesn’t just know where your hand
is, like the Wii. No, the Kinect tracks the motion of your head, hands,
torso, waist, knees, feet and so on. The point is to let you control games
with your body, without having to find, hold, learn or recharge a controller
. Your digital stunt double appears on the TV screen. What you do, it does.
"The Wii, by tracking the position of its remote control, was amazing for
its time (2006). It’s a natural for games in which you swing one hand —
bowling, tennis, golf. But the Kinect blows open a whole universe of new,
whole-body simulations — volleyball, obstacle courses, dancing, flying.
Note: Kinect is the black, horizontal box in the photo, not the tall white
one.
