Kinect Will have Just Proven Its Worth Today

Every Xbox One will ship with a Kinect. It’s a undeniable fact that can’t be avoided and has made some people angry. Some are angry over the increased price ticket of $500 while others are angry about potential privacy violations. Either one of those people can now shut up though because the Kinect has just earned its rightful place on your entertainment center.

A few months ago, Microsoft said that the Kinect could recognize the code at the back of an Xbox Live pre-paid card and immediately redeem it for you. It seemed type of silly on the time, but wait until you spot it in action. It actually has me excited:

As the Vine indicates, the full process takes lower than six seconds. Not more will you should installed a string of silly numbers that takes minutes. Now you only simply delay a card in front of you and Kinect looks after all of the rest.

This is next generation stuff, folks. All those fancy graphics and cloud servers are old hat. Kinect reading QR codes for pre-paid Xbox Live cards is the longer term, and that i want it now. Actually, Sony should be scared witless and are engaged on their very own pre-paid PSN cards which might be read by the optional PS camera.
