What do you think this statement really means?

"What Natal does, is it evaluates effectively trillions of body configurations every frame. We've made it do that 30 times a second."

 X360 does not even have  a trillion bits.  Trillion is a really huge number. I've heard that  a trillion dollars in 100 dollar bills would stack in a pile that's 67 miles high.

Personally Ive seen the statement before. Kinect is supposedly pre programmed with every possible postion the human body can make. So essentially, with you stood in front of it, it will never get lost as to what pose you are pulling.

This maybe a refernce to this. Kinect registering which of these in it's programme you are doing.

  If each preprogramed  position takes only one byte that would require 1TB of ram.
