Then along came Kinect, the main weapon of Microsoft this year. Kinect, earlier known as “Project Natal” was announced during the E3 show and was met with praises from the audience and the gaming enthuastics.

Kinect is a “controller-free gaming and entertainment experience” 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. Kinect is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360′s audience beyond its typical gamer base.

Requiring at least 175 MB of available storage space, the Kinect system software allows users to operate the Xbox 360 Dashboard console user interface using voice commands and hand gestures. Techniques such as voice recognition and facial recognition are used for automatically identifying users. Among the applications for Kinect is Video Kinect, which uses Kinect for conducting voice chat or video chat with Windows Live Messenger users or other Xbox 360 users. The application can use Kinect’s tracking functionality and the Kinect sensor’s motorized pivot to adjust the camera so that the user is kept in frame even when moving. Other applications promoted with Kinect include ESPN on Xbox 360, and Zune on Xbox Live.

Coming this November, precisely November 4, 2010, Kinect is scheduled to launch worldwide starting with North America then to the rest of the world.
