What do you know, someone's been busy working in Microsoft's labs while we've been waiting for the company's
Kinect motion control peripheral to launch itself into our living rooms. The highly sophisticated webcam has undergone some algorithmic optimizations and now Alex Kipman, lead software developer for what used to be known as Natal, tells us that its processing overhead for the Xbox 360 console will be no greater than a "single-digit" percentage. That contrasts very nicely with the last number Alex gave us, which indicated there'd be a
10 to 15 percent penalty for using Microsoft's new motion controller, and should mean your petting sessions with
Kinectimals will be running smooth as butter when Kinect
hits stores tomorrow. Great news, eh?
Kinect will use only a 'single-digit' percentage of Xbox 360 CPU power originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 03 Nov 2010 04:48:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
