all right so we're looking at we're looking at the actual depth view so what you can see is the 3d rendering of where you use in 3d space if you come a little bit closer you can see like some incredible fine detail you can see is tight I think that's your belt buckle that we're looking at there zip it up you're good to go have you been down a little bit we'll be able to see the detail in your face we can open your mouth your tongue out three times the fidelity of what we have in the first sensor is really kind of a ground one of the groundbreaking berries a tech that allows us to this really light things up so the other thing I'd love to point out this incredible field of view that we have like you all notice how close he actually is to the sensor which is a dramatic step for from connect v1 and you can actually see the sofa all the way far back so you know living rooms of all sizes no matter where the furniture is we're gonna be able to you know bring this experience to you is a huge leap forward over where we were in the first generation the other thing I'll point out is the incredible horizontal field of view if you would mind kind of walking from side to side put your arms out show us your wingspan and like this actually facing a sense though so you want to the side side yes I decide just just to give people like you know an overall view of how big of an area you can see so everyone in the living room no matter how how where you are how your living room is oriented where yourself it is pretty phenomenal so now this is a great view for all the technology that we run but it's not quite so human consumable before that 1080 1080 p HD color so this is you know six times the resolution of what we have in connected e1 we can see the incredible crystal-clear high quality color feed that we have this will be the premiere experience perspective in the living everybody's involved you can see everyone no matter where they are the sofa next to the sofa far back on the wall we're really going to be able to light up fantastic experiences both for Skype living room delivery room communication and in game play scenarios so this is a new feed available the next generation of Kinect that we call active IR and what it's doing is it's using infrared technology to see everything that's happening in the room actually you can see the gentleman in the front we can see all of you in the back so no longer do we have any kind of lighting dependence whatsoever pretty fantastic stuff I'm gonna back up once more to the color feed and I'm gonna use my flashlight to kind of show another aspect of this technology might want to close your eyes for this I don't whine yeah typical scenario you're gaming and you got a lamp right next to you you can see how he's all ballooned out we can't really see his face and show up that bright I'm gonna switch back to active I are completely subtract it out so not only can we see in the dark we have complete independence from any of the light sources in the room so this is what creates a phenomenal consistent platform for doing all of our computer vision and all of our detection you're all familiar with Kinect skeltal tracking welcome to the next generation so as you can see we've got our next generation skeleton happening right here I'd like to point out just the incredible stability that we have the more you move around the more it's gonna represent what you're actually doing so you can shrug your shoulders you can kind of lean forward you can move your head back and forth so point out you know the accurate spine the shoulders all the expressiveness all running in real time on our hardware platform other key joints that I'll point out is the hands so if you hold up your hands we actually have joints that represent the tips of your hands and the thumbs as you rotate your hands around as you open up as you close that you can actually see that happening in the skeleton itself pretty advanced stuff so we've got you know had a great coverage of how all the bones are connected this is how they're all oriented next to each other this is block man you saw a brief glimpse of him in the video but as you move around as you're take your arms and your shoulders you can pick up your leg and swing that all around you can actually see the orientation being represented in real time we have enough fidelity with the depth map to be able to check what your accurately doing so it's a pretty pretty phenomenal stuff I might say you know but we didn't just stop there you know I'm 6 4 my scale totally weighs 8 pounds if you want to know what's going on with me at the body level you got to be lunders down my muscles all the forces that are going on what's working my experiencing so muscle man is a human based physics model applied directly on top of our skeleton and our high fidelity deathmatch and what you're seeing here is a representation of the actual forces that he's feeling in his body so green representing no force and then red being the most intense force so you know as you shake weight between your two different feet you can see that we're detecting which foot he's got all of his weight on on the floor ok you do a little bit of a squat you can see the force he's feeling it in his thigh but we're seeing it on the screen so you know kind of real-time representation it was happening at his body level and the last thing we can use is Technology boards we can track up momentum so we can give me a nice tight little jab nothing too big see the white dot no so we're actually able to track what's going on now if you really put your back into it and shift your weight you know punch a bigger circle there we go you can see shifting weight from one foot to the next at a really accurate representation of what's happening all right so we have you know really great telemetry in what's happening with the body but as any good physical trainer will tell you like this isn't enough you know it's heart rate as well so what we're doing here is we're using both color feed and our active IR key to actually see this pulse in his face there's very subtle fluctuations in both the intensity and in his skin codes imperceptible to the human eye that we're actually able to detect in real time to detect what is heart rate actually is so we've talked about the body but you know it's not just about the body we've got these fantastic controllers as well so I'm gonna come join them come into the view controller all right so you may have missed it but it actually just identified me it did say guests initially and now it actually says Kareem I'm pre enrolled on this block so that quickly and actually identified who I was I walked into the room my next box tells me they're both holding controllers all right don't push any buttons all right well we can detect the real-time let's try something again all right there we go so as we're swapping controllers we're able to detect in real-time who's holding what controller yeah we can kind of do one more thing going on a jumbo join us all right so we're all here we got the three of us controller they can hand your controllers you want the other thing that we can do is we can actually swap places so let's go ahead and swap so in real time it's actually able to detect who's on what side of the screen and so no longer do we have to swap controller there's swap on the sofa to actually get split screen the lined up to how we are there's nothing more annoying than being on the right side of the cell that's lying on the side of the screen you
