If you just want to watch Netflix or play some tunes, simply speak to the Kinect and let the magic happen. The webcam feature is a great way to stay in touch with those that one doesn’t see everyday.
Secondary Research • Research Problem Statement: Nearly one-third of all Microsoft Xbox owners also own the Kinect system. However it is unclear how much time is spent is spent by customers using the Kinect system and playing games with the unit. The Kinect system itself requires more exertion than standard video games systems historically have needed. The client is interested in expanding the the acceptability and willingness to engage on this new level to play games. Research is needed to be conducted to explore the current user trends with the system and possible ways to increase the trend, making the Kinect system the new standard for video gameplay. Primary research is the only way this new data can be collected about this cutting-edge product, as no similar research has been done in the past.
Secondary Research • We concluded our research problem throughout various research techniques. First, we examined the secondary research that has been recorded over the years to answer our research questions we put together. Then, we conducted a focus group to see what people had to say about the XBox Kinect. The conclusion was what we had anticipated. The consumers enjoyed the idea of being active while staying inside. And having the option to use voice control or a webcam. Along with the option of being able to play standard videogames as well. Lastly, we conducted a survey to get a numerical idea of what people thought. The results showed that people prefer motion gaming over the standard any day.
Qualitative Research • Main Findings: The XBox Kinect is a great gaming console and people view it in a positive light. The option to be the controller allows one to be active, getting the blood flowing, and to be fully immersed in the game. Instead of sitting on the couch and just moving their arms, they get to move their whole body. If one misplaced the controller, they will still be able to control the Kinect with the use of their own voice. One does not need to purchase multiple controllers either. They can play one to four layer games without having to spend a dime on extra accessories. During our Focus Group, the discussion was flowing nicely and we heard various opinions. In which those findings have been common through our research. We anticipated such answers and were happy to receive them in the end.
