Motion capture day

Tuesday 6th December

First of all i had an enjoyable day. The task was entertaining and one of the best i've done so far. I've never played X box 360 kinect before and i didn't play and i won't be on the recording until fifa is being played. Watching members of the class play Kinect and zumba fitness gave me great amusement. I'm a regular player of Fifa, but on the Ps3 console. 






If you don't know what kinect is then i'll give you a brief description. Kinect is a motion sensing input device for the X box 360. Kinect is like the eye toy for Playstation 2 but better and more advanced. Kinect(s) dual camera system allows you to use gestures to control the gameplay instead of using a control or control pad. You can also control kinect by speaking to it and it will listen. (Giving it an order to go on a game)


Kinect is useful in many ways as it can educate you and also be used to keep you fit. The purpose of kinect is to experience a new, enjoyable way of keeping fit-instead of sitting down. Kinect allows you to choose your own workout, use a personal trainer, do martial arts or do yoga.  (Exercise)


If you use kinect it allows you to communicate with friends and families, you can even watch things together such as films, television, sport and listen to music. If you move around kinect also can track your movement. 


Kinect also allows you to navigate the universe at your finger tips. So not only kinect can do the things i stated above, the software has even managed to work it's way in hospital operating rooms. Surgeons use it to control scans. 


So i've briefly given a description on Kinect. My opinion is that it's better than the Nintendo Wii and if i were to own an Xbox 360 then i would definitely go out and purchase a Kinect.

  1. Hi
    Well done for getting this all sorted and making a new website blog, check with the tutor site link about what you have done over the weeks, talk to other students, look at their websites about what you did each week to remind you.
    The animation finishes at Xmas and after that we are only looking at photography.
    Good work but add more writing please about thoughts and ideas based on each lesson you have done.
