High Definition and High Fidelity 3D Vision
The new Kinect sensor by Microsoft provides a high definition and high fidelity 3D vision, allowing for even minute changes in depth to be captured. This means that the sensor can track movements with high accuracy and precision.
Active IR Technology
The sensor also has a 1080p high definition color feed, which is susceptible to changes in room lighting. To combat this, Microsoft has introduced a new technology called Active IR, which filters out room lighting and provides a clear image. This means that the sensor can provide a clear image even in low light conditions.
Skeletal Tracking
The Kinect sensor also has the capability of skeletal tracking, which has been improved to include more joints and expressive movements. The sensor can even detect how joints are rotating and has a representation called Boxma to detect cheating in games like Dance Central. This means that the sensor can track movements with high accuracy and precision.
Combining a Physics Model
Additionally, the sensor can combine a physics model to understand muscles and forces exerted through the body. This means that the sensor can provide a more accurate representation of movements and forces exerted through the body.
A System That Can Track Movements, Estimate Heart Rate, and Detect Expressions and Engagement
The speaker in the video also discusses a system that can track movements, estimate heart rate, and detect expressions and engagement. The system can recognize users and their positions without any user interface. The speaker also demonstrates how the system can track multiple people in the dark and prompt them to perform certain actions. This means that the system can be used for a variety of applications, including gaming, fitness, and healthcare.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the new Kinect sensor by Microsoft provides a high definition and high fidelity 3D vision, Active IR technology, skeletal tracking, and the ability to combine a physics model to understand muscles and forces exerted through the body. Additionally, the system can track movements, estimate heart rate, and detect expressions and engagement. This makes the sensor and system useful for a variety of applications, including gaming, fitness, and healthcare.
