A YEAR AGO, Microsoft launched Kinect for Xbox 360. With Kinect, a full-body motion tracking device with voice functionality, Microsoft made games more accessible to everyone by eliminating the need to use a controller. The company’s mantra was captured in a simple statement – ‘You are the controller’. Kinect was an instant hit, becoming the fastest-
selling consumer device of all time, selling eight million sensors in the first 60 days of release; earning a Guinness World Record in the process. In 2012, Xbox 360 will infuse the magic of
Kinect with iconic names in children’s education and entertainment, creating experiences that encourage entirely new ways to learn and bring kids and families together. Microsoft plans to unveil new Kinect
experiences that will enrich children’s lives. Microsoft’s vision is simple: to create ‘playful learning’ experiences that are exciting, cooperative and entertaining. From counting with Grover, to exploring the natural world as an animal, to redefining story time: Kinect for Xbox 360 allows children to expand their imaginations and love of learning.
