Kinect or Project Natal for Xbox 360

The long talked about Project Natal for Xbox 360 is unusual and exotic in its appeal for the audience. The device is an add-on to the Xbox 360 and eliminates the need of having a controlling device to play games. The controller-free platform unveiled will be commercially available in the market around November 2010. User interfaces have changed many shapes in the past and each time they have added to the quality of game play offered. This new interface is called the natural user interface in which a user can interact with the console through spoken commands, objects, images or posing gestures. No official word has been out on the price of this gamers dream machine however the retailers are known to be booking an advanced order for $150. The device is designed to be placed under the video displaying unit. It is loaded with advanced technology features like facial recognition, voice recognition and sensitivity to capture three dimensional motions. The device doesn’t need special empty room for proper working and its built-in features are able to detect the settings automatically like furniture placed in the room.
According to the latest available information, Kinect can accommodate up to six people simultaneously involved in the game play. The displaying unit enables a wide viewing angle both horizontally as well as vertically. The new controller-free styled gaming device Kinect is said to have a lot of games specially developed for it. Earlier rumors suggested that with the launch of Project Natal Microsoft would also introduce a new gaming console for its Xbox 360 series, though this news had been dismissed by Microsoft. Microsoft cleared it to all the audience that the new device (which is Kinect now known) would be compatible with all the Xbox360 versions. Wii has already been the market leader in providing physical fitness games and Microsoft is entering the market with the aim of gaining some of that market share as well. The wait though unavoidable seems too long for Xbox fans.
