hexus.net –
The technology behind Microsoft's highly anticipated Kinect motion controller Xbox 360 peripheral has been exposed in a patent application.
According to the patent filed by Microsoft, the peripheral formerly known as Project Natal, which allows gamers to play controller-free, uses PrimeSense software to let the webcam unit detect a player's physical movements.
It indentifies certain points on the body and compares them to patterns charted on a model of the body to work out movements.
