Kinect sensor
Kinect Adventures (E)

Kinect removes the last barrier between you and the experiences you love. Your movement, your voice, your face, all effortlessly, naturally and beautifully transforming how you play and experience entertainment. Best of all, when Kinect arrives this November, it will work with every Xbox 360 console.

The Microsoft Kinect changed how video games are played. Other systems rely on controllers to track movements, and players must hold on to these peripheral devices to control the on-screen action. However, the Kinect uses a motion sensor. Gamers actually become the controllers and mimic normal motions to direct their digital avatars.

The Kinect for Xbox 360 is a major breakthrough in gaming technology and is compatible with all versions of Microsoft's console. Every motion made by players is captured by the camera, and gestures are used to control the games. Gamers must run, jump and swing their arms exactly as if they were playing a game in real life.

Some titles are more enjoyable with the Kinect than they are with traditional joysticks. Instead of complicated button schemes, you can simply perform the action you want. Sports titles are particularly fun because you can play your favorite game without even going outside.

Each Kinect comes bundled with "Kinect Adventures" to help you start building your game library and teach you the motion controls. The title features mini-games that send you to the jungle, the furthest reaches of outer space and everywhere in between. The options are as fun as they are as educational.

The functionality of the motion sensor isn't limited to gaming - the peripheral device also makes the Xbox 360's other features simple to use. The Kinect supports voice commands, which allow you to navigate the console's menu, select options and activate apps.

The motion-sensing camera also adds video conferencing to the Xbox 360. You can use the device and connect with loved ones online. The camera even tracks you so you're never out of frame when speaking with your friends and family.

You Are the Controller Kinect uses cutting-edge technology to obtain accurate and comprehensive 3D data and analyze on what's going on inside a room, including a camera for taking pictures and recognizing faces, 3D depth sensors to track and mirror body movements in the game, as well as built-in microphone to hear and respond to your voices.
Full-Body Play Kinect uses Full-body tracking sensor to capture your movement from head to toe and provide a new way to play where you use all parts of your body — head, hands, feet and torso. Jump, duck, and spin your way through a unique adventure - you don't just control the superhero, you are the superhero. Enjoy fun off the couch and on your feet.
Personalized Play Greet and speak to characters in the game or simply step in front of the sensor to log into Xbox LIVE and connect with friends because Kinect remembers voices and faces.
Better Xbox LIVE Experience with Kinect Kinect makes the Xbox LIVE experience come alive with its full body controls, allowing you to navigate menus with the wave of a hand. See something you like? Use a voice command to make your selection or simply gesture with your hand.
Video Kinect Xbox LIVE Video Kinect lets you connect with family and friends from the comfort of your living room. Connect with friends on MSN Messenger or chat from one Xbox 360 to another. The Kinect camera's "Auto zoom Focus" instantly finds and follows you when you move so you always stay in frame. No headset required.

daniel s 4/7/2013 6:53:49 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 1/5Poor Quality Pros: Worked great since 08/2012 when I bought it Cons: Failed after less than a year, no warranty on this item. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum 11/7/2011 5:09:48 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Pretty cool to use on a PC Pros: The ~Wow~ factor when your friends and family see you using your hands to control your computer. Cons: Requires 3rd party drivers to actually control your computer. Microsoft claims that they will release proper drivers, however it's been over a year and nothing has been release yet other than an SDK software kit for developers. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 11/7/2011 9:05:43 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Happy 10 year old girl Pros: I have to admit that our household does already have a Nintendo Wii so using this type of interface was somewhat similar. My little girl likes the Kinect better as the 4-5 games she uses with it are more tailored for her playing needs. She plays with her Kinect all the time and now we have a Nintendo Wii that is occupying space on her shelf. Cons: The only con I have is that it requires so much floor room if two individuals were going to play at the same time. Other than that flaw I think this is a great way for inactive kids to spend time exercising. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/8/2011 7:25:50 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Its a wii with controller free Pros: Startup easy no controller needed works with all the 360s Cons: small rooms will not work good it was not free but the shipping was it came in a big box idk why brought this and the Move but just got the Move Controller still waiting for the Playstation Eye and the game Other Thoughts: thanks newegg no email saying where is my stuff AT thanks very much there is ur review 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Mikey 9/29/2011 3:17:52 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Kinect! Pros: Very fun peripheral for the Xbox 360, Dance central and other games are very innovative and also get you to move while having fun. If you take Dance central seriously, you will also pick up some slick dance moves. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I learned this the hard way, the camera sets itself through the Xbox, you don't need to manually tilt the camera. It has a motor that lets it self adjust to find the best angles. You can also go to Kinect options to better frame your area of play. You do need a bit of space to use this product.

AT 7/12/2011 1:32:45 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Novelty Pros: Better than the Wii. Came with a newegg giftcard. Basically a discount, as it was spent shortly after this purchase. Cons: Novelty wears off quickly. Lots of space needed. I thought I had plenty of room in front of my tv 8-9'. I probably need an extra 2-3' for optimal functionality. Other Thoughts: I need to try additional game titles. Hard to evaluate hardware on just one peice of software. Really cool technology though. Impressed with this implementation Microsoft. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
