Product Information

Yet there is a growing sense within Microsoft that the company needs to have some sort of response to Nintendo’s new juggernaut. With depth-sensing technology not ready to get Microsoft’s green light, the company leans into other options. The Wii is no longer a blueprint for the company, but an inspiration, an impetus to do something bigger, better. “Instead of just having this view into what a wand is doing, how a wand is moving through a 3D space, we’re going to understand how the bones of your body [work], and how your actual body movement is actually happening,” Bertolami says. a b Gartenberg, Chaim (January 2, 2018).

In 2005, PrimeSense was founded by tech-savvy mathematicians and engineers from Israel to develop the "next big thing" for video games, incorporating cameras that were capable of mapping a human body in front of them and sensing hand motions. They showed off their system at the 2006 Game Developers Conference, where Microsoft's Alex Kipman, the general manager of hardware incubation, saw the potential in PrimeSense's technology for the Xbox system. Microsoft began discussions with PrimeSense about what would need to be done to make their product more consumer-friendly: not only improvements in the capabilities of depth-sensing cameras, but a reduction in size and cost, and a means to manufacturer the units at scale was required. PrimeSense spent the next few years working at these improvements. [14] Kinect Won T3's "Gadget of the Year" award for 2011. [205] It also won the "Gaming Gadget of the Year" prize.

The game’s motion controls can be a touch unresponsive, although it feels a little unfair to blame that on Sonic when it’s probably more the Kinect’s fault.
