Microsoft's Kinect, is a controller-free system for its Xbox 360 gaming console and in my opinion, it is even better than the Nintendo Wii.
Kinect doesn't has any controller for the player to hold, it uses 3 camera sensors and 4 microphones which provide the system 3D motion capture, facial recognition and voice recognition. Unlike Ninteno Wii that only reads the movement of arms, the Kinect able to reads full body movements and accept voice commands as well. It is believed that the system able to track up to six persons simultaneously, including two active players.
In addition, the Microsoft is still developing Kinect so the system can be supported by PCs as well via the future Microsoft operating system, Window 8.
