Microsoft Kinect a sign of things to come

BY ANNETTE GONZALEZ
Game Informer Magazine
When Microsoft first announced
its motion-based interface two
years ago, the company pitched
a grandiose vision of a controller-
free future in gaming. Along with
a launch game lineup aimed large-
ly toward the casual crowd (read:
Wii owners), the team showcased
innovative features such as scan-
ning real life objects, interacting
with a virtual boy named Milo
and playing previously released
titles without a controller. While
some of these ideas have been
put on hold, Kinect still offers a
number of solid features right out
of the box.
A NEW MEANS OF
NAVIGATION
Setting up a Kinect unit is
incredibly easy ­— just connect

corner of the screen featuring a
grayscale silhouette that accu-
rately follows your movements.
Contrary to some premature
reports, you’re free to sit during
controller-free menu navigation.
Kinect offers a separate dash-
board for Kinect — compatible
features displayed in a series of
panels. You can navigate these
panels using your hands or via
voice commands, both of which
fuel responsive. A quick hand
wave causes Kinect to recognize
your movement, revealing a
hand cursor on screen that you
can use to move among panels.
Hovering over a panel causes
a quick circular gauge to fill,
confirming your selection. Once
you’re within Kinect-specific
menus, such as the Avatar Editor,
you can hover over selections

the Kinect’s USB connector into
a port branching from the power
supply cable, and you’re set (Slim
versions of the console power

extra step). After a quick update
prompted by hardware detection
when you power up your 360,
you’ll notice a few changes to the
dashboard. Aside from the new
Xbox Live update that features
a sleeker interface, you’ll see a

to confirm your choices.
Voice commands are equally
easy to use. Prior to any voice
command, you have to say “Xbox”
and then follow the simple on-
screen prompts. For instance,
from the main dashboard, you
can say “Xbox” then “Kinect” to
enter the Kinect-specific menu.
From here, anything that you see

mic will recognize your selec-
tions. If you want to check out

ply say “Xbox” then “achieve-

commands only work on the sur-
face level of the Kinect menu, so
once you’re in the Avatar Editor
or achievements menus, you’re
limited to hand commands. The
Kinect can pick up my voice com-
mands even at a mere whisper, so
there’s no need to yell. If your
Xbox 360 is set up in a language
other than English, Kinect, unfor-
tunately, automatically defaults
to hand gestures. Hopefully, sup-
port for voice commands in other
languages will be implemented
in a future patch.
Both hand and voice com-
mands are very intuitive and
responsive under different sound
and lighting conditions, giving

Donna Sudderth, journalism gradu-
ate student, said social networking has
changed not only reporting but also
public relations.
“(Public relations) is all about main-
taining relationships,” she said. “Social
media makes it easier for brands to
monitor how people feel and perceive
their company. They’re able to get feed-
back immediately. That’s really good
for companies: Where previously they
had to take a reactive stance, now they
can take a proactive stance.”
Sudderth said she wants to help
Brown-Smith develop the course and
identify useful resources and assign-
ments as part of a project toward her
master ’s degree.
“Employers say you need to have
social media experience,” she said.
“Well, what is that? If you have a
Facebook or a Twitter, does that mean
you’re experienced? No.”

Not everyone is meant to make a
difference. But for me, the choice
to lead an ordinary life is no
longer an option.
Social media also enable news
consumers to tailor their sources of
information to their own personal
preferences.
“A lot of people feel like, ‘If it’s impor-
tant, I’ll find out about it,’” Brown-
Smith said. “I think people aren’t as
likely to go to three or four different
websites. They tend to wait for news to
show up in their feed.”
Some U of M students get much of
their daily news intake through social
networking.

features, including Skype-style
Video Kinect chat or even the
other controller-free functions
alone, may make Kinect desir-
able for consumers interested in
a new way to navigate. It’s just a
matter of whether you’re willing
to drop the $150.
BUT HOW DOES IT GAME?
We can’t make one blan-
ket statement as to how well
Kinect works with games, as
you must consider it on a case-
by-case basis. While games like
“Dance Central” and “Kinect
Adventures” take full advantage
of the motion detection technol-
ogy and nail body tracking, oth-
ers perform sloppily, making you
feel like you have no control over
the onscreen action.
needed to play, and after spend-
ing some time with Kinect, we
find many games require several
feet of space to accurately scan
your body, particularly for multi-
player. Unlike other motion con-
trol offerings that simply register
arm movements, Kinect can scan
your body, whether you’re run-
ning, jumping, squatting, doing
sit-ups or lying down. You just
need a substantial amount of
room to do so. This could very
well keep Kinect out of homes
where space is at a premium.
However, creative director Kudo
Tsunoda assures that if you have
room for an entire Rock Band
setup, you’ll have enough room
for Kinect.
FINAL WORD
Kinect is an impressive piece
of technology that has a high ceil-
ing for growth. Even though the
controller-free experience takes
getting used to, it’s a bold step

One simple gameplay problem
we see across the board is how
games are paused. Several titles
require you to hold out your
left hand and wait for a circular
gauge to fill before the game
will pause, which doesn’t always
work. A simple solution would
be to pause the game automati-
cally when you step away from
the camera, which some games
have thankfully implemented,
but in other cases, the action con-
tinues whether or not your pres-
ence is detected.
Kinect’s spatial requirement
also needs to be considered. After
the E3 convention demos, rumors
into the future and worth taking
a closer look at before brushing it
off as just another gimmick.
TOP KINECT GAMES
1. “Dance Central” — With
“Dance Central,” Harmonix has
set the bar for the future of dance
games. Investing hours in a game
that rewards you for some degree
of athleticism and coordination
is not only an incredible work-
out but also ultimately makes
you feel like a better dancer in
the end. “Dance Central” shines
among Kinect’s otherwise bleak
launch lineup and is undoubt-
edly a step in the right direction
for the hardware.
Microsoft’s motion-based interface, Kinect, offers several new features right out of the box.
2. “Kinectimals” — With
around 20 hours of gameplay,
“Kinectimals” offers plenty to do.
You can play with your cub, shop
for new items, decorate your
house with trinkets found on your
adventure, complete challenges,
have friends join in to beat your
high scores and more. If you’re
looking for a rich gameplay expe-
rience jam packed with adorable
creatures, look no further.
3. “Kinect Sports” — “Kinect
Sports” isn’t the first game to bite
Wii Sports’ style, but it’s one of
the few to best it in execution. All
of the sports here control natu-
rally and intuitively, with very
few duds in the mix. The collec-
tion features a variety of straight
sports replications and a few fun
minigame twists as well.
4. “The Biggest Loser Ultimate
Workout” — When “The Biggest
Loser” made its video game
debut on the Wii, it offered a suit-
able workout experience but was
overshadowed by the likes of
best-selling titles Wii Fit and EA
Sports Active. Now, with impres-
MCT
sive utilization of Kinect’s full-
body motion detection capabili-
ties, “The Biggest Loser Ultimate
Workout” takes fitness a step fur-
ther with customizable workouts
and robust health features that
make it a worthy competitor.
5. “Kinect Adventures” —
“Kinect Adventures” is exactly
the kind of all-in, jump-around
experience that Microsoft must
have envisioned for its Kinect
peripheral. As a pack-in title, it
does a brilliant job of demonstrat-
ing what the software can do.

Tigers take an early lead, fall

late in 28-13 loss to Marshall
BY JOSEPH RUSSELL
Sports Editor
For the first half of The
University of Memphis foot-
ball team’s contest against
Conference USA foe Marshall
on Saturday, the Tigers looked
capable. They moved the ball,
they built a 10-0 lead and they
looked like they would snap
their six-game losing streak.
Then the second half began.
The Thundering Herd (4-6,
3-3 C-USA) capitalized on a
pair of third-quarter mistakes
by The U of M — a personal
foul penalty on senior cen-
ter Brad Paul on the first
drive of the third quarter, and
later, freshman quarterback
Ryan Williams’ fumble — for
two touchdowns, putting
Marshall up 14-0. From there,

said U of M coach Larry
Porter. “But I would like to say
from our kids’ perspectives,
it showed a lot of resolve and
fight for them to come out and
continue to play as hard as
they are playing, regardless of
the circumstances.”
Williams opened the scor-
ing for the Tigers on their first
possession of the game with
a 43-yard touchdown pass to
junior wide receiver Jermaine
McKenzie with 9:25 left in the
first quarter.
Williams completed 14-of-32
passes for 201 yards and one
touchdown, while McKenzie
led all receivers with six catch-
es for a career-high 109 yards
and a score.
The U of M later took its 10-0
