Regardless of what you think about Wii-style games, the tech behind Kinect is interesting. The facial and skeletal tracking / recognition come courtesy of an RGB camera, while movements are detected by two 3D depth sensors. We were surprised to also discover that a multiarray mic allowed us to use Kinect to control the Xbox with our voice. The proprietary USB connector makes it Xbox 360–only for now, but it’s easy to imagine this being ported to the PC in time.
