![]() The result is that the Kinect can sense which direction sounds are coming from, for isolating a single speaker rather than an omnidirectional or even stereo microphone. ![]() There’s a three-axis MEMS accelerometer onboard ostensibly for determining the tilt of the sensor relative to the base of the device - if you put Kinect on top of a TV for example, there’s no assurance that the surface the Kinect is resting on is normal to the ground.ĭown on the bottom you’ll notice an obvious grating, under which hides a four-microphone array for some beamforming goodness. This makes sense since the horizontal arm housing the optical system and microphone array pivots vertically - the base is a stage of sorts which lets the top arm sweep through around 30 degrees to adapt itself to placement on top of a TV or below on a table, basically to suit your entertainment setup. The Kinect is noticeably bottom-heavy, with a center of gravity closer to the bottom and somewhere in the base most likely. ![]() Oh well, at least it matches the console. If you’re OCD like me and don’t happen to live in a clean room, this is a constant but minor annoyance. ![]() That means its every surface is glossy black plastic which looks nice, but immediately shows fingerprints, dust, and scratches. The sensor itself matches the style and appearance of - you guessed it - the new Xbox 360 S. ![]()
