Originally a gaming device, the Microsoft Kinect has found new life as a tool for ghost hunters like Billy Tolley and Zak Bagans. Now primarily used to detect and visualize potential paranormal entities, the Kinect's depth-sensing technology creates stick-figure representations of humanoid shapes. Despite being discontinued in 2017, the Kinect continues to captivate enthusiasts who interpret its visual anomalies as evidence of the supernatural. This article explores how the Kinect has transformed ghost hunting and why it remains relevant in the search for the paranormal.
The Kinect’s popularity as a depth camera for ghost hunting stems from its ability to detect depth and create stick-figure representations of humanoid shapes, making it easier to identify potential human-like forms.
For ghost hunters, the Kinect’s ability to convert body-tracking data into an on-screen skeletal dummy has led to paranormal claims, showing figures where none exist.
