Kinect to make its way in households soon

I have seen the cool ads and information that Kinect promises to deliver and hopefully by the end this year I will actually be able to have it in my living room. Microsoft’s Kinect is a body movement game controller that I expect will make its way into loads of living rooms across the world. Kinect promises to be great fun.

Kinect is supposed to allow people to play games with their whole body and without needing remote controls. The technology uses motion sensors, skeletal tracking, facial recognition, and voice recognition. It has are two depth perception and light source 3D cameras and a regular Web camera to track and identify people. It also has facial recognition capabilities, artificial intelligence, and four microphones for voice commands that know the difference between chatter of other people in the room or sound coming from the TV. During game play, Kinect takes photos of gamers and then offers them for viewing or sharing. All of this sounds like the new gen for gaming….. I wonder what it would be like for first person shooter games….
