With Kinect for Xbox 360, you are the controller. Easy to use and instantly fun, Kinect gets your whole body in the game. Imagine controlling movies and music with the wave of a hand or the sound of your voice. With Kinect, technology evaporates, letting the natural magic in all of us shine. And the best part is Kinect works with every Xbox 360.


Sensor Placement

You should set the sensor between two to six feet off the floor and centered with your TV, higher is generally better. Place it on a safe and secure surface, as close to the edge without hanging over. Make sure there’s no direct sunlight on the sensor or you. And don't place on your TV or Xbox 360 console, in front of speakers or near things that vibrate or make noise.

Room To Play

Clear the space between you and the sensor. If you’re playing alone, we recommend standing six feet away from the sensor. For two players, you both should be at least eight feet away




Navigating

Using Kinect is easy. Wave your hand so that the sensor can see you. Moving your hand moves the pointer on the screen. To select an item, hold your hand over it until the ring completes.



Kinect Recognizes You

With Kinect ID your Kinect sensor can recognize you and automatically sign you into your profile. Kinect ID is located on the Kinect Hub.



Kinect Guide Gesture

Hold your left hand out and down to bring up the Kinect Guide. The Kinect Guide allows you to pause a game, check out your profile and friends, tune your sensor or access the Kinect Hub where you can explore other Kinect experiences.



Using Your Voice

The microphone icon indicates that speech recognition is available. Just say "Xbox" to reveal all the voice commands available for you to speak.
