How it Works
![Page 7: Kinect is an accessory for the Xbox 360 brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways with no controller required. Simply step in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070306/5518c125550346b31f8b55a2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How it Works
• Camera– Kinect’s camera is powered
by both hardware and software. And it does two things: generate a three-dimensional image of the objects in its field of view, and recognize human beings among those objects.
![Page 8: Kinect is an accessory for the Xbox 360 brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways with no controller required. Simply step in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070306/5518c125550346b31f8b55a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How it Works
• Depth– The camera transmits invisible near-infrared light and
measures its “time of flight” after it reflects off the objects.– Time-of-flight works like sonar: If you know how long the light
takes to return, you know how far away an object is. – Using an infrared generator also partially solves the problem of
ambient light.

How it Works
• Middleware– The Kinect has an on-board processor which is using algorithms to
process the data to render the three-dimensional image.– The middleware also can recognize people: distinguishing human
body parts, joints and movements, as well as distinguishing individual human faces from one another. When you step in front of it, the camera “knows” who you are.
