New Peripheral launched by Microsoft named Kinect will lead us to a new way how to play console, using our body as a controller making playing games become more interactive. Some people and Microsoft itself said Kinect is a revolutionary because it can combine three things:
- Tracks your body with full depth mapping,
- Responds to voice commands,
- Standard video camera:
It's that it brings all of three of those things together for the first time. It's natural user interface in its infancy.
The Microsoft Kinect motion device as mentioned before is made up of three distinct subsystems that each marries hardware and software. 1. Movement Tracking, 2. Voice recognition and 3. The Motor
The movement tracking is tracked via an IR VGA camera and a laser that is projected across the field of play to track player movements. The camera uses ‘depth field.’ and filters to distinguish players from furniture and bodies appear a bright shade of red, green and things further away appear grey.
Kinect then transforms body parts into a skeleton with moving joints and is preloaded with 200 common poses, allowing to fill in the blanks if you make a move that obstructs the cameras view of your entire skeleton. All this is done at 30fps
For voice recognition Kinect has an ‘acoustical model’ for countries and individual regional dialects, built from 100s of hours of actors from round the world talking through various sayings.
The final part of Kinect’s technology is its motor. That controls the camera and allows it to move up and down to calibrate to each specific gaming space
