Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing platform

The next version of Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing platform is so advanced that it will be able to read your lips and sense your mood. The Kinect device released for the next Xbox console will offer improved motion sensing and voice recognition, including the ability to lip read, detect emotions such as anger, and determine player direction. The price of this is Rs. 5,142.

MICROSOFT KINECT MOTION

Developer source says the next Kinect can even track the pitch and volume of player voices. The new capabilities stem from a higher-resolution camera built into the new devices, as well as more onboard processing power and faster networking hardware which will take the system beyond standard USB.

The next version of Kinect will be able to read lips to interpret what a user is saying, as well as take an estimate of the mood by the volume and tone of your voice, as well as analyze his facial expressions.

Tech and Gadget Wars

Many gadgets were born and have evolved over the past few decades, while many are dead and gone away. It is a cliché that, gadgets that have created a revolution will always be remembered while the ones that did not make mark will always be forgotten. Hence it becomes a battle for all gadgets. Take the battle between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD champs from a few years ago. Most people now use Blu-Ray to watch movies and not too many people even remember HD-DVD. The most famous battle right now is the Kindle versus the Nook.

Here are the famous battles of all the time.

1. Laserdisc vs DVD

LASERDISC Vs DVD

The Laserdisc format made its debut in 1978. It was the first commercially available optical disc storage medium. It actually pre-dates the DVD market by almost 18 years.

DVD has much higher picture resolution than laserdisc. It also has higher density, meaning that a regular length movie will generally fit on one disc. Compare this to Laserdisc and the hassle of flipping the disc over. A major drawback for the format, compared to even videotapes.

Laserdiscs were always more expensive to manufacture than videotapes and five times more than DVD. Laserdisc technology started to gain much more popularity with the advent of Dolby Digital sound but later DVD killed it.

2. Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD

BLUE RAYS Vs HD-DVD

Sony came back with revenge in the early 2000s. The company offered up the Blu-ray disc its successor to the standard DVD. Toshiba’s offering, the HD-DVD, was cheaper, but offered less in the way of capacity. A number of high profile tech companies came out in support of their preferred format.

Blu-ray claimed Dell, HP, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi, among others. HD-DVD, meanwhile had Sanyo, Intel, Microsoft, RCA, and a few more. Sony eventually won this round.

3. Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360 vs WII

PLAYSTATION 3 Vs XBOX 360 Vs WII

The console wars continue to rage on. Ever since the PlayStation 3 arrived on the market to challenge the Xbox 360 in 2006, gamers have argued about the merits of each system. Even as console-exclusive game titles have become less and less common, gamers remain convinced that their system of choice is the superior one.

Deciding between the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360 can be a difficult task. While all three systems are vastly superior to the next generation of videogame consoles, they are also far more different from each other than ever before.

4. Nook vs Kindle

NOOK Vs KINDLE

The battle of e-reader rages on today. The two big fighters, Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook are still in the battle field. But as of now the two e-readers have different fighting strategy.

The Kindle’s readability is arguably superior to the Nook, but the Nook boasts a color screen option and just unleashed its latest attack with full internet browsing capability. These two e-readers are challenging in their own way to be the best one. But the time has not yet to decide which e-reader is out on top.

5. Zune vs iPod

ZUNE Vs IPOD

Microsoft rolled out Zune in 2006, making an attempt to competitive with Apple which has been producing iPod since 2001. The Apple iPod is a high-capacity MP3 player, with a rich legacy dating back to 2001. Its rival, the Microsoft Zune, stepped on the scene and was promptly cast as an ugly duckling. In its latest incarnation, the Zune, Microsoft has finally presented a worthy challenger to the iPod dynasty.

When it comes down to the best, the Zune is dominating with features that Apple simply does not seem interested in. But loaded with many features zune looses over iPod, because many users are the zune’s performance was dull both in terms of unit sales and functionality. In October 2011 Microsoft announced that it would no longer support zune and would instead focus on its smartphone. It seems to indicate that Apple is already victorious.

6.  Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo

SEGA GENESIS Vs SUPER NINTENDO

When Nintendo first introduced its 8-bit home system, it took the market by storm. The term NES quickly became a household word. By 1989, over 20 million people owned a Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo dominated the video game industry.

Then, the era of 16-bit machines began. While the Turbografx-16 even today seems to loom in the shadows, the advent of Sonic the Hedgehog video game brought new followers by the millions to the Sega Genesis. Sega quickly became a true competitor to Super Nintendo.

Sales began to decreasing for Nintendo as people lost interest in the 8-bit gaming console. Then Nintendo after years of eager anticipation by consumers finally released its own 16-bit system, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Meanwhile, however, many had decided that they could not wait. Sega had proved themselves worthy, and sales skyrocketed in the lag time.

7. Betamax vs VHS (Video Tapes)

BETAMAX Vs VHS

Sony's Betamax video standard was introduced in 1975, followed a year later by JVC's VHS. For around a decade the two standards battled for dominance, with VHS eventually emerging as the winner.

The victory was not due to any technical superiority because Betamax is arguably a better format by several factors. Exactly how and why VHS won the war has been the subject of intense debate. The commonly-held belief is that the technically superior Betamax was beaten by VHS through slick marketing.

In fact the truth is more complex and there were a number of reasons for the outcome. VHS was not only cheaper but it provided two hours of recording time on each tape, compared to Beta’s one hour of recording capacity. The huge success of VHS spelled a rapid death for Betamax by 1988 conceded and began producing VHS player.
