Kinect 2.0 Detailed

Much of the excitement surrounding the new Xbox can be directly attributed to the next-gen Kinect sensor. Building off what the original Kinect started this takes NUI (natural user interaction) to the next level. From natural speech recognition to more accurate facial recognition and more detailed body motion capture. Kinect has been improved so much it's almost unfair to compare with the original incarnation. In this article let's go over what we know.

Monday, June 06, 2011 Glen View Comments

As we previously speculated, Kinect Me, Kinect Bobblehead, Kinect Googly Eyes and more are smaller apps for a new Kinect app store. Kinect Fun Lab is that app store, and will present the latest innovations from the Kinect scene as "gadgets".

Launching with several gadgets, the store introduces a number of new featuring to Kinect, including finger tracking in a new 3D drawing app, and the long-awaited object scanning. Kinect Me will also allow players to scan their body and face to have their likeness rewalised in an Xbox 360 Avatar.

With the Kinect PC SDK launching soon, we look forward to seeing the Fun Lab populated soon.

Kinect Fun Lab is available for free right now for all Xbox 360 owners, be sure to check it out.

"Kinect Me" and "Kinect Fun Lab" Revealed at E3?

Friday, May 20, 2011 Glen View Comments

Some new names have popped up on Brazil and Australia's Classifications Boards -- Kinect Me, Fusion Genesis and Crimson Alliance. The latter two are Xbox Live Arcade games, with Crimson Alliance being developed by Age of Booty developer Certain Affinity. There was also further confirmation of Hole In The Wall and Fruit Ninja Kinect, both also Xbox Live Arcade titles.

There is no indication as to what Kinect Me is, though it could be related to the rumor that Microsoft will announce the ability for Kinect to create an in-game character based on a body scan. It's unclear whether this means auto-creation of an Xbox Live Avatar or a more realistic model of the players actual body.

A source at Siliconera also claims that 'Kinect Fun Lab' will be a Microsoft E3 reveal. Again, we don't know what it is, whether that's its final title or if it relates to Kinect Me. At a guess, it could be a bunch of fun tools packaged as a Live Arcade title including the painting software which we haven't seen since Kinect's unveiling as Project Natal in 2009.

Not long to wait now until all becomes clear. Microsoft open this years E3 with their conference on June 6th at 9:30am PST.
