Microsoft 's Kinect has been a big success so far for the gaming world , as its technology has allowed it to accurately scan the movements of a player and then reproduce those movements in the game . If the Kinects were scanning a face, the scan data might instruct the blower directly behind the nose to blow the hardest, as the tip of the nose would be located closest to the Kinects’ sensors, relative to other facial features. Now Microsoft is taking it even further as they look to be able to scan your face with the same gaming sensor and turn it into a real physical object , which could produce the potential for a more developed form of communication .
