Xbox One video shows off Kinect facial scanning

4.7
Microsoft has released a new video to show off how well the new Xbox One Kinect can scan and build a virtual representation of your face.

Kinect Sports Rivals will utilise the feature to create playable avatars that closely resemble the player.

Kinect Sports Rivals is a Kinect-controlled bundle of sports events including soccer, climbing, wake racing, bowling, target shooting, tennis and more.

The game was initially slated to be among the list of Xbox One launch games this November, but will now release during Spring 2014, or Autumn in Australia, following a delay in July.

According to Microsoft the delay will allow Rare to further polish the Kinect title, which is the studio's first release for Xbox One.

The Kinect sensor looks like it has been greatly upgraded compared to the current Kinect sensor for the Xbox 360. Hopefully it will be fully functional and not experience the problems that came with the current Kinect.

Impossibility hopefully they fix the bugs it will have before launch


How do you know it will have bugs? I don't think it will have many bugs at all.

dini931 Kinect= Reason why i'm not getting xbox one, Microsoft will not be spying on me :3


You do know you don't have to use it lol. You can put it in the closet. But I don't think that's the reason. A lot of people make excuses because they don't tell the truth
Example: broke,can't find place to pre-order because mommy won't let you use cc online


or just maybe they either do not like Microsoft Consoles or do not have enough money to purchase it because of lets say... Rent, food or family's to support?

People have various reasons why they don't want to buy an Xbox One. Most of the time they are actually not lying

Raci I've never been a fan of the kinect


Not many people have been since the initial Kinect was released on the Xbox 360, i have to say that it was a pretty big failure from Microsoft. Hopefully they can turn this around with the Xbox One version of the Kinect

Nireland Man, I hate the kinect so much.


You can't hate the Xbox One Kinect in general without trying it. You can hate the concept but that is about it

Yeah same, I would just have no use for it personally
