Recent advances in 3D depth cameras such as Microsoft Kinect sensors (www.xbox. com/en-US/kinect) have created many opportunities for multimedia computing. Kinect was built to revolutionize the way people play games and how they experience entertainment. With Kinect, people are able to interact with the games with their body in a natural way. The key enabling technology is human bodylanguage understanding; the computer must first understand what a user is doing before it can respond. This has always been an active research field in computer vision, but it has proven formidably difficult with video cameras. The Kinect sensor lets the computer directly sense the third dimension (depth) of the players and the environment, making the task much easier. It also understands when users talk, knows who they are when they walk up to it, and can interpret their movements and translate them into a format that developers can use to build new experiences. Kinect’s impact has extended far beyond the gaming industry. With its wide availability and low cost, many researchers and practitioners in computer science, electronic engineering, and robotics are leveraging the sensing technology to develop creative new ways to interact with machines and to perform other tasks, from helping children with autism to assisting doctors in operating rooms. Microsoft calls this the Kinect Effect.
