Microsoft Plans National Kinect Tour In 32 Cities

Redmond, Wash. – Microsoft hopes to build consumer enthusiasm for the Nov. 4 launch of its Kinect for Xbox 360 with demonstration events that will tour 32 North American cities in the next 14 weeks.

Venues range from Macy’s in Manhattan to the Mall of America and California state fair. Kinect is also available for demos in all four Microsoft Retail Stores in Scottsdale, Ariz.; Mission Viejo, Calif.; Denver; and San Diego.

Kinect for Xbox 360 identifies body movements and positions to play games, responds to voice commands to control movie and music playback, and responds to hand motions to browse through music lists.

The Kinect Experience Mobile Demo Tour will give consumers the opportunity to play new motion-control games. Consumers will also be able to share photos and video captured at the Kinect Experience at http://www.Kinect.me, then comment on them on social networking sites.
