On top of recreating the room with accurate depth giving me the ability to virtually rotate around the player using only the single perspective, it can tell if your eyes are closed, open, if they're open and you're engaged, if you're smiling, neutral, frowning, even paying attention to the screen. Are your hands open or closed, etc. If it wouldn't result in me hitting unemployment in short order due to the NDA, I'd post screenshots / video because it is REALLY cool what it can do.

The Wii uses controllers with accelerometers and infrared to determine where the user is aiming the controller, how it's being twisted, and the angle it is being pointed and sends it to the console using Bluetooth. That's it. End of capabilities. These are not even remotely the same technology.

The underlined text says, if nothing else, that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and should keep your mouth shut until you do.
I have no idea?



that is what microsoft is pushing HARD right now, are you trying to tell me that is not a wii sports clone? it doesn't matter if they are using a different technology (thats why I said Wii 2.0) its what they are doing with it and they are doing sports minigames

xbox is gonna survive on bro shooters like always and none of them will have kinect as a main feature. It will be a glorious day when I bump this thread with news of the kinect free bundle
