Microsoft will raise resolution of Kinect to 640x480px

There were successful start of sales of the game system Microsoft Kinect intended for interaction with console Xbox 360. For example, for first ten days since the beginning of sales of Kinect that started in the North America on fourth of November, there were sold one million copies of such “the controller without the controller”. Thus, plans of corporation seem quite real to sell five millions devices till the end of current year.

The data which comes up in the World wide web about possibility of increasing of functionality of this game system can become one more stimulus for purchase Microsoft Kinect. According to the resulted data, infra-red camera of Kinect is capable to realise higher resolution, than supports actually console Xbox 360. Under initial information of Microsoft, the resolution in this case makes 320 х 240 pixels, however the colour camera and the depth camera in Kinect are capable to show the image with the resolution 640 х 480 pixels while connected to the personal computer.

Moreover, according to Eurogamer referring to an anonymous source, Microsoft plan to realise the same resolution on Xbox 360, and existing artificial restrictions are used to leave possibility for synchronous work with other remote terminal units with USB interface. However if experts find a way to bypass the specified restriction, the updating of soft that raise sensitivity of Kinect will surely be and allow to trace even a movement of fingers of the user that should lead to realisation of hand managements.
