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.

i find it odd that this camera is so good for personal use from a company like microsoft that its is aware of your surroundings and recognize your face so well it can sign you in at the moment you turn it on. im not okay with this as people can already tap into webcams what makes you think they wont with kinect.

McNuggets_Jr That looks amazing! What happened to those Sony fanboys saying the Kinect is useless and crap?


They're mad that my phone camera is better than their "eye"


Lol, Can you not come up with any excuse why the kinect is bad? Keep trying fanboy?.


You're retarded, he was saying the PS Eye(aka the Sony version of Kinect) is bad.

I meant to quote a different comment, Sorry man my mistake!

It is crazy to see how far this has come. Hopefully, games like Battlefield and Cod will implement this in the scene.
