Those wanting to try Kinect before deciding whether or not to invest in the device this Q4 will now get the chance thanks to five dates announced as part of a new UK tour.
The sampling program will visit Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, London Zoo, The Thames Festival in London and the Clothes Show Live exhibition at the Birmingham NEC between now and December. Dance Central, Kinect Adventures, Joyride and Kinectimals will all be playable.
Visitors will also be able to record a 25 second video clip of their session which can later be watched at www.kinect.me.
In addition, Microsoft has opened a permanent summer testing base in London’s Covent Garden that’s been called the Kinect Galleries, which opens tomorrow (Saturday July 1st).
