Read My Lips, Kinect 2!

Posted on Monday, November 28 @ 07:52:12 Eastern by


A new report this morning says that the next generation of Xbox will come bundled with the next generation of Kinect - so powerful, it can read lips, or even tell when a user is angry. "Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states", says Eurogamer's source.

Any new Xbox console would need a new version of Kinect. The current technology uses USB to transmit data to the Xbox 360, which limits its capabilities. A new Kinect would use a different data connection, allowing for more data to be fed, as well as higher resolutions on the camera itself.

A successor to the Xbox 360 is rumored to be in development, possibly arriving at retailers as early as next year.

    You call yourself a gamer and don't state the most likely response that the Kinect will respond with when it recognizes you're angry.

    "You mad Bro?"

    The question is how it will detect when we're NOT angry at it.

    The even bigger question is will any developers actually take advantage of its capabilities?

    Will it talk dirty to me when it recognizes that I'm touching myself?
