How does it work?

• ﾓKinectﾔ sensor. ﾓKinectﾔ is the worldﾒs first system to combine an RGB camera, depth sensor, multiarray microphone and custom processor running proprietary software that brings ﾓKinectﾔ experiences to every Xbox 360 console. The ﾓKinectﾔ sensor tracks full-body movement and individual voices, creating controller-free fun and social entertainment available only on Xbox 360.
• RGB camera. ﾓKinectﾔ has a video camera that delivers the three basic color components. As part of the ﾓKinectﾔ sensor, the RGB camera helps enable facial recognition and more.
• Depth sensor. An infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor allows ﾓKinectﾔ to see the room in 3-D (as opposed to inferring the room from a 2-D image) under any lighting conditions.
• Multiarray microphone. ﾓKinectﾔ has a microphone that will be able to locate voices by sound and extract ambient noise. The multiarray microphone will enable headset-free Xbox LIVE party chat and more.
• Custom processor (running Microsoft proprietary software layer). A proprietary software layer makes the magic of ﾓKinectﾔ possible. This layer differentiates ﾓKinectﾔ from any other technology on the market through its ability to enable human body recognition and extract other visual noise.
