Experience The Wonder of Kinect Here

Hello Followers, welcome to this inspiring blog where I will be sharing with you the wonders of Kinect,

Kinect (codenamed in development as Project Natal) is a line of motion sensing input devices by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles and Windows PCs. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral, it enables users to control and interact with their console/computer without the need for a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. The first-generation Kinect was first introduced in November 2010 in an attempt to broaden Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base. A version for Windows was released on February 1, 2012.

 How the Kinect works

Kinect uses a motion sensor that tracks your entire body. So when you play, it’s not only about your hands and wrists. It’s about all of you. Arms, legs, knees, waist, hips and so on.

As you play, Kinect creates a digital skeleton of you based on depth data. So when you move left or right or jump around, the sensor will capture it and put you in the game.

Kinect ID remembers who you are by collecting physical data that’s stored in your profile. So when you want to play again, Kinect will know it’s you, making it easy to jump in whenever you want.

Kinect uses four strategically placed microphones within the sensor to recognize and separate your voice from the other noises in the room, so you can control movies and more with your voice.

Kinect: How the World is Using Me

Tedesys Uses Kinect in Hospitals

Watch how Tedesys is using Kinect technology in an operating room in Spain to help doctors navigate MRIs and CAT scans with a wave of their hand. If approved by national government agencies, who knows what benefits this could bring?

These are some of the way people are using Kinect, and my favourite is a creation called STANLAB. In my next post, I will be telling you more about STANLAB but before then imagine an app that

• helps students learn practical chemistry in an hands-on manner using Kinect

• has stunning animations in 3D

• helps students feel the real life experience in a virtual world

• though running on a system, can b projected on a wall, 3D TV or a monitor

• fun, interactive and analytical

That is what STANLAB embodies, so watch out. see you next time.
