9. FOR MICROSOFT XBOX360:- MEDIA:- DVD, Compact Disc, Download etc CPU:- 3.2 GHz power pc tri-core Xenon STORAGE CAPACITY:- detachable hard drive ranging from 20GB to 250GB,removable memory cards (64MB,256MB,512MB).

10. MEMORY:- 512MB of GDDR3 RAM clocked at 700MHz. GRAPHIC PROCESSING:- 500MHz ATI Xenos, handled by ATI Xenos 10MB eDRAM. INTERFACE:- New XBOX experience

11. ACCESSORIES USED…….. XBOX360 supports both wired and wireless controllers, face- plates for customization, headsets for chatting,webcam for video chat and “KINECT”. PLAYSTATION 3 supports accessories like dualshock3, sixaxis, Logitech drive GT, “PLAYSTSTION MOVE” etc.

12. GAMING REVOLUTIONIZED……. Both MICROSOFT and SONY has developed two revolutionary products. These products are said to break the barriers between virtual and real world. These products are  KINECT for XBOX360  PLAYSTATION MOVE for “PS3”

13. PLAYSTATION MOVE……. Playstation Move is a motion sensing game controller platform. based on the motion controller wand. uses PS EYE camera to track the wand’s position and inertial sensors in wand to detect its motion. Playstation Move motion controller is the main component of “PS MOVE”.

14. TECHNOLOGY OF PS MOVE….. Move motion controller has a glowing “orb” at the head. PS EYE webcam detects the color of user enviroment helps the system to dynamically select the orb color. colored light of orb is tracked by PS EYE webcam. pair of inertial sensors used to track rotation as well as overall motion. inertial sensors are also used for “dead reckoning”.

15. DEMO OF PLAYSTATION MOVE……...

16. XBOX KINECT…….. Kinect is an add-on peripheral for MICROSOFT’S XBOX360 gaming console XBOX360 with KINECT sensor It is based on controller free gaming and entertainment experience.

17. TECHNOLOGY OF XBOX KINECT……. The KINECT device features an RGB camera, depth sensor and multiarray microphone. Provides full body 3D motion capture, facial and voice recognition. Microphone array enables acoustic source localization and ambient noise suppression. Depth sensor consists of an infrared projector combined with monochrome CMOS sensor. To showcase the interactive prowess of KINECT, Microsoft has developed an interactive game called “MILO”.

18. DEMO FOR XBOX360 KINECT….. Players can interact with a 10 year old child “MILO”. “MILO” has an artificial intelligence that responds to body movements,facial expressions,spoken words,gestures in dynamic situations. relies on “Procedural Generation System” to simulate life like conversations.

19. CONCLUSION……. These two breakthrough technologies show that “INNOVATION” is devoid of boundaries. There is nothing like “IMPOSSIBLE” in this “MODERN AGE OF TECHNOLOGY”.
