The Kinect - compatible with Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows in its various forms - allows players to use motion controls to navigate the console's menus and play games. But just how reliable is this piece of hardware in picking up spirits? How is it supposed to work? People claim these "ghosts" have successfully manipulated the Xbox system into making their presence known, while others have dismissed the odd occurrence as glitches. It's extremely eerie and more than a little unsettling, especially when your knowledge of how the hardware actually works can't explain away the phenomenon. Another video shows an investigator calling out to the space next to her, only to have a small child-sized figure appear with joint points that constantly change position (shown below). One such video features an Xbox One player unnerved by the system registering a human form in the empty space beside him. Users have reported ghost stories involving games like Dance Central and the Xbox One UI picking up a second person in the room when they were alone. Xbox users believing their camera has latched onto something otherworldly is seemingly common. Is the Kinect sensitive enough to capture a spirit?Ī quick YouTube search of " Kinect ghosts" yields a surprising number of results. However there are hundreds of videos on youtube of not only 'someone not there' being detected, but these 'ghosts' also using the motion controller to operate the system."
"The Kinect prompts you when a new person is in the room, a phenomena dismissed as a glitch by most users if they're alone. "Ever since the release of the Kinect motion sensor controllers in 2010, gamers have been posting videos of ' Kinect Ghosts' detected by their Xbox 360," reads a blog post on the subject from the League of Occult Research and Education, an Olympia, Washington-based group dedicated to studying the paranormal. If you've seen the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, you've seen this experiment before: A Kinect, Microsoft's camera peripheral that adds motion and voice control to the Xbox console family, is used to look beyond the veil, modified to capture images of what many believe to be spirits. The man in the room is still alone, but this second tiny figure moves across the screen, seemingly reaching out to touch the man's own, corporeal figure. Then without warning, a second, smaller figure pops into view. At first it's just the one body, a fluorescent green collection of sticks meant to represent human legs and arms. Through the computer monitor, another man - another paranormal investigator - watches a stick-figure representation of his colleague. The room is completely dark, save for the soft light of a computer monitor.Ī solitary man stands in the middle of the old, musty foyer, surrounded by an audience of several ancient pieces of furniture.
