Kinect TechnologiesVoice Recognition
4 microphonesRecognizes each players voice separately from the background
RGB CameraFacial recognition by detection of 3 colors, Red, Green, Blue640x480 Pixels @ 30Hz (30 Frames per second)
3D depth sensorsCalled Light CodingTracks movements of objects and individuals in 3 dimensionsMade possible by 2 sensors – including an Infrared depth-finding camera
Kinect SoftwareEnables gesture, face, and voice recognitionThe “brains” of the device
Motorized TiltAllows the sensor to be tilted to change the viewing areaRequires an AC power adaptor (uses more power than USB adaptor to Xbox can provide)

Basic Operation4 microphones pick up audio
RGB camera picks up video
Depth cameras pick up 3D images
This data is compiled by the software:Voice recognitionFace and movement recognition
This data is then sent to the Xbox 360 (and now a computer running Windows)

Basic Operation cont.When you turn the kinect on, the sensor scans the play area and detects all objects in the playing zone.
The software places 48 points on each player’s body to track their movement, and translates this to make the image you see on screen.
The software also allows the kinect to learn as you play
The more you play, the better the sensor can track your movement because it learns how each player moves naturally, so the on screen picture portrays each3. How is the product designed?
