According to the report, the new improved Kinect will sport an increased field of view and a higher depth range in order to allow up to six users to play at once. This is facilitated by a 70-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical field of view, which is up from 57.6 and 43.5 on the current units.

Thanks to this the new Kinect model will not need to tilt in any way. It should just see everything that’s going on in the room.

The sensor has also been beefed up, according to the report, returning a full HD resolution colour stream at 30 frames per second. That compares favourably to the current unit which returns just 15fps at lower resolutions.

The new Kinect will also be able to recognise whether players’ hands are open or closed, provide better skeleton tracking thanks to improved joint detection, and offer tailored options for standing or seated players.

It has previously reported that the new Kinect unit will ship with every next-gen Xbox console.

Fat chance of that happening. Sony has boasting the world first and quietly scaling back on features and specs later down to a science.

[Axm]

For those with a 360.. Which should be everyone.. You can go on the IGN app and watch the stream on your tv in HD. They are aleady streaming a pre discussion on it and it will roll into the event.

[Who Really Cares?]

Yep. Rather funny being able to watch a Sony conference on an XBox.

[Bluecast]

I guess I can finally say this with permission. I was told to keep quiet til today but The controller should have a screen in the middle not a touchpad. If they don't show PS4 today then I made big mistake.

[Who Really Cares?]

This guys talking a lot and not really saying anything


Edit PS4 the official name.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

YAAAAY Mark Cerney!

In the middle of the thing they removed the ability to choose quality level and now the lag is unbearable. Ugh.
