Microsoft X-Box 360 Kinect Sensor

Received the xbox kinect within 2 days time and in a very good package . I tried the Kinect sensor it works fantastically. It came with a extra power adapter that can be used to connect to a PC. the extra power adapter was really helpful as i intended to work with a PC and not with Xbox.

I use Kinect for various depth imaging tasks. While it works well as a gesture detector with XBox, in other applications its limitations show up. I would like to point to few of them:

1. Kinect fails to detect children: While Kinect is designed to extract human skeletons, the process works for full grown adults only. I tried with several toddlers and it cannot detect a human (player).

2. Kinect has low depth resolution: Even in the given working range of 0.5m to 3.5m, Kinect shows non-uniform resolution and its resolution of 1cm in Z-axis often is inadequate for many applications.

3. Kinect is noisy: The depth data often has a lot of noise, especially if the ambient light is non-uniform and bright.

In spite of the above limitations, Kinect is a great product in its price range. It has given many researchers like me (who cannot afford a LIDAR or other ToF cameras) an effective device to experiment with depth.

An X-Box is incomplete without a kinect sensor. It's the single most differentiating factor between an X-Box and other consoles.
Kinect takes wireless gaming to the next level, you control everything with your moves itself. There are specific games (marked "Kinect required") on flipkart, like "Dance Central" and "Kinect Adventures" which I have played and they are a joy to play!
It's the most interesting device, and livens up your drawing room for endless fun!

Only caveat - buy it only if you have a big enough room to play it on. If your room is too crowded with furniture, you'll need to move all that before using Kinect. Also, if your room is less than 10 feet, you won't be able to play any multiplayer games on kinect.

its been a long time i bought this on flipkart, i must say, this is like one and only product, you would have never seen anything like this, its like , pure fun to get along with your family, you cant have enough of it,

i strongly recommend that you have to order this right now if you have a xbox 360, and even if you dont have a xbox 360, you have to go buy one for kinect, believe me , its 100% worth it

The most amazing thing i have ever seen its a must buy...i enjoy very much playing it and my whole family plays together and that's fun...!!
