Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Perfect for apartments, halls of residence and small living rooms, Zoom lets two people play Kinect in a space that would otherwise only accommodate one person and is compatible with any Kinect game. A breakout hit at E3 2011, the Zoom was nominated for Best Hardware in Show by IGN, GameSpot, Machinima and G4 X-Play. What a great add on. @safegaard
