Whoever has an Xbox probably knows the Kinect sensor. O Microsoft Kinect allows you to control the game console by voice commands, body movement and facial recognition. The device itself is a black box about 30 cm long and three cameras / sensors that together with powerful software, form the already established Microsoft sensor.
Its integration with Windows allows us to control some applications without the need for a mouse or keyboard. For example, if we want to exchange a song or video, we can simply give a voice command or move our hand to the left or right, without the need to be near the computer.
The new generation of Kinect sensors will be available in the US and Europe from 15 in July. The price confirmed for those who pre-order is 199 USD.
The main improvements of this new sensor for Windows they are: better depth detection, 1080p resolution, wider field of view, among others. Microsoft invited developers to publish their creations on Windows Store, which suggests that the number of applications compatible with Kinect will rise considerably.
What a good example to see how useful Kinect can be?
