At midnight tonight, Microsoft’s next-gen video game console will finally launch across the globe. In addition to more powerful graphics, the new machine comes bundled with a redesigned Kinect sensor that promises more functionality than ever before. This handy infographic explains all the new gestures and voice commands that you need to know.
Kinect 2.0 has been designed to allow you to control your TV and console with simple voice and gesture commands. While this makes life simpler in theory, it’s not immediately obvious how the various new functions are achieved. Instead of barking useless commands and flailing your arms around like an idiot, print off this handy crib sheet which was supplied by Microsoft to the media with their review units.
