What is it?

Kinect, is a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based around an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base.Also you play the game without a controller its face reconised watch the video if you dont understand thanks.


So what can Kinect do?
Control your games - Use your body's movement to control the action thanks to the movement sensor!
Talk to your console - Interact with your Xbox using your voice!
View photos and films - Search through your media files with the wave of a hand!
Scan- Kinect can scan objects to be used in game


When is it out?

Released worldwide November 2010 Coming out on the 4th in the US and the 19 in the UK and Europe. No japan date has been announced.

Price

No price confirmed as of yet by MS. US online stores currently have it down for $150 while in the UK its 129.99.


Xbox 360 Compatible

Kinect will work with every XBox360 model. Older models will require you to plug the camera into a plug socket.




The new Xbox 360 S is Kinect ready in the sense that you plug the camera into the console. The plug is not required.
