What Is Xbox Kinect and Its Features

By Elaine Jeans


The absolutely amazing Xbox 360 Kinect is the future of gaming technology and entertainment. It is neither just a mere claim nor a lofty ambition, it is a clear fact. Where else can a normal gamer be the complete commander of his own gadget? Where else can a player be immensely immersed in the game or the technology? Where else can anybody say I AM the controller? Where else can anyone say this has a massive potential waiting to be uncovered? All these and more are yours to keep when you gain access to the colossal power and cool innovation of the new Xbox 360 gaming system. You can even command and conquer through your own voice. That's right, voice command technology has arrived.

One game specifically reveals one of the cool potentials of this cutting edge technology. This is the scenario: You are inside an underwater tank and schools of fish keep poking inside the holes in the glass. Your mission: keep the fish from coming in by plugging the holes using your body; hands, feet, and head. Plug the holes to keep the fish and water out. The crazy fish keep on poking new holes. Can you imagine the fun in that? Talk about immersive fun!

Your Shape also clearly shows what Kinect is capable of doing for you. An infra red replica of yourself is duplicated on the screen with your exact body shape. A selection of games and activities are selectable for you to follow. You also have an instructor to follow. Be in sync with your instructor to gain points and advance to the next higher levels. The Kinect system does a fantastic job of recording your every move and compares it to the electronic instructor. Your moves are then analyzed and recorded.

If you are not moving fast enough, or not waving your arms far apart, you will be told! Not moving in sync? Not catching up with the rhythm? You will be informed. This is unlike going to the gym, exercising and learning how to move with rhythm. It is like having your own personal trainer. It is immensely even better! This time you could not cheat the system by just sitting on the couch and moving the remote control or the joystick. It is absolutely amazing and breathtaking.

Numerous reviews always mentioned about lag, meaning it takes a bit of time for the Kinect to track your movements and project it on the screen. Is there a time lag? Well yes, of course there is, as measured in fractions of a second. Is it noticeable? The lag is noticeable if you are focused on it. If you are specifically focused on having fun and playing the game, it will not matter at all. Is it not even obvious during actual game play because you're focusing on the game, right? Just like with the Nintendo Wii, you will quickly adapt and learn to compensate for that fraction of a second time delay. Lag is not even an issue at all!

Now for the most sought out part: Where To Buy Xbox 360 Kinect? Look for them in trusted online retail sites. Just have fun with this awesome technology while it is here for you to enjoy. The untapped potential is too cool to miss. Don't get left out. Get your own unit now. Be the controller of your destiny! What are you waiting for? The future is here NOW!!
