Motion sensors for the PC "Kinect"

Kinect motion sensor which is currently only available on Xbox 360 game console will soon be present on the PC. With Kinect, computer users will be able to give orders or play games via hand movement or sound.

Microsoft said today in addition to preparing Kinect to be integrated into a computer with Windows operating systems, they also work with developers to create software that supports Kinect.

 

Kinect is enhancement, while this can only be used with Xbox 360, which allows control of the game using body movements, hand or foot, and even by voice.

Kinect for the PC is bound to be different with Kinect for Xbox 360, either in hardware or software, according to internal Microsoft source. Microsoft should be specifically designed Kinect for PC, adjust the character of the use of a computer that is different from the Xbox game console.

For example, about the ideal distance between the sensor device Kinect. On the Xbox 360 that was designed for use in the family room, the minimum distance for optimal usage is 5 meters.

This provision would not be applied to PCs, because of course too much. To that end, Microsoft will make "Near Mode" which allows the distance between the sensor camera with a PC Kinect quite 50 centimeters.
