Ever since televisions made their way into people homes, fitness shows have been on them. Technology has made it possible to use the television set and a gaming system to exercise. Because they have come up with a way for a person to use their body as a controller, the way the games help you exercise has changed as well. Some of the motion gaming titles are designed to give a person a great work out. There are many famous names that are behind these exercise games. One of the best benefits of the motion gaming is that a person can get exercise even if the game is not made specifically for exercising. The one problem with the old video game systems and their attempts at blending video games and exercise is that they either lacked a truly massive audience. Manufacturers looked at a very narrow market and aimed the games at those who were already looking for a way to exercise while they played the games. With the creation of motion gaming that is all changing. Originally people only had the Nintendo Wii for motion gaming, but now Xbox has added their kinect and there is also the Playstation Move, and all of these use some type of control that allows a person’s movements to be tracked and that motion is then shown on the screen as the player becomes an interactive participant in the game. A person’s movement is followed by some type of tracking system that is attached to the game system. This sensor tracks the movements of the controller while the gamer plays the game. When someone plays these games they are getting exercise. Movement is always good for a person’s health and these games promote movement by the players. Playing a video game is no longer a laid back experience for the gamer. Gaming is now interactive. A person will always be better off if they are getting some exercise even if it is only the kind they get from playing a video game. In the end to stay fit a person has to get moving no matter how they do it. A person’s body will always be healthier if a person is moving. Motion gaming is having a definite impact on today’s gamer. There are a lot of people who are dealing with weight issues. A person needs to do many things and there is nothing wrong with using a video game to help. Getting fit while playing a game is something that can excite the user. There are plenty of people who are excited to use this format to get fit. That is one of the true successes of motion gaming. There has not been a lot of research done to prove that these motion games will make a person more fit than someone who does not use them. One thing that is well know is the benefits of a good workout on a person’s body and the need for people to move around to maintain the proper weight and body shape. People are playing games differently because of the advances in technology. Because of the new consoles, the type of person who plays them is different too.Anyone can get started playing video games no matter if they are young or old because all they have to do is to go to the store and pick up one of the consoles or check out the internet and try to find out xbox 360 kinect, and then bring the system home, plug it into the television and begin moving around to find out how much fun the new style of motion gaming can be.

%video%The way people look at video games has changed a lot lately. People have been taken in by the idea of motion gaming ever since the Wii was first introduced. It is turning into a very competitive industry and although Nintendo was the original the competition is no longer sitting still as Microsoft and Sony are finding success with their own gesture based devices for controlling the companies’ respective video game consoles, the Xbox kinect 360 and PlayStation move which have recently taken the market by storm. Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony each are positioning themselves to grab their share of the entertainment dollars.Sony and Microsoft have raised the bar on motion gaming. The graphics of the new systems are better than they have ever been. But they have also raised the bar on the price of the units and the accessories that come with them.The manufacturers have not kept up with the supply of the individual controllers for the move and the Kinect system and because of that many people are clicking on the ads they see online that promise to show them how to get a free xbox 360 or how to enter into a contest to win a Playstation move while still others are turning to the stores and buying bundles that not only include the new motion controlled systems but also include the whole gaming console and several games that go with it. For some people this was the only way they could guarantee to have the right present under the Christmas tree.The thought of motion gaming was not something that people thought would be very good. But the idea of controlling the movements with your body soon caught on. The new gaming platforms were good for the entire family. Wii bowling tournaments occurred in many people’s homes. Video games were no longer something that was to be enjoyed in a basement full of teenagers. It got people playing games who would have never considered it before.The Nintendo system has sold more platforms than either of the other two. The advantage of the other two systems can be found in the way their action translates onto ht screen. Now they have gotten even better.Sony’s control system uses a camera that tracks the wireless controller. Moving their body and the joystick at the same time is translated into action on the screen. Because of the interactive style of the games they could help a person impr4ove their abilities as they play. A person can use these games to hone their athletic skills or get into better shape by having a system that teaches them.Xbox has created a platform that does not need a person to hold a joystick. The camera is able to detect the movements of several people that are standing or moving around in front of it. The person becomes the controller. People are finding out they can get regular physical activity with the new platforms. But as technology gets better the platforms will perform more of a family’s entertainment needs. Or maybe you can become part of a movie you are watching on television. As the machines can do more it makes more economic sense for a person to invest in one. The platforms are more like computers these days. Interactive gaming will include a lot of things besides physical activity. Home entertainment is going to evolve into something completely different in the future. If the Gaming companies have their way, this will happen. Continue reading Read More
