Quote: "The Gadget Show in the UK also made a full 360 degree hands free virtual gaming room which used the Kinect for jumping tracking out of off the shelf tech. A truly amazing video."
This have bin out for the ps eye since launch and as you can see do this crappy camera also track well with good programing.
I where more impressed by the gun for iphone that showed some clever programming and use of camera and gyros
For me so did ms promise something and delivered something else by cutting out the kinect processor and use xbox internal cpu instead.
And cut down the rgb cam to 8 bit and a 640x480 resolution.
The core of kinect is licensed hardware and software from israel.
Here is the part that they own and get license fees for in kinect.
Israeli developer PrimeSense, which developed a system that can interpret specific gestures, making completely hands-free control of electronic devices possible by using an
infrared projector and
camera and a
special microchip to track the movement of objects and individuals in three dimension. This 3D scanner system called Light Coding employs a variant of
image-based 3D reconstruction.
And now if we look at wath kinect are ?
87% licensed software and hardware.
Ms simply put military tech at our homes
That had bin in use for a couple of years before kinect whas released to our homes.
You guys must read betwen the lines as the true point is that good programming can do wonders even with simpel webcams.
Its the software that is the amazing parts.
And if agk is to support motion controls so does it nead to be someting like an webcam that works on windows,iphone,android,mac and blackberry devices.
They all have webcams and i dont belive anyone would strapp on kinect to an ipdad or mac
Iam more impressed by the stuff that can be done with very basic hardware thru clever programming then sheets of paper that shows wath there tool have inside.
And as mobius points out so is it bad software more then bad kinect that i have experienced.
And if you read my older posts about the cameras so do i simply point to a simpel fact that they take well known technology slapp it in to an plastic shell and give it fancy names.
Playstation move is nothing new as this whas possible with the ps eye already on the ps 2.
They simply added light bulbs to hold in your hand
Wii is probably to outdated to even mention today with its greyscale camera and ir detectors.
If agk would support kinect how easy is it for everyday users to buy kinect an hook it up to work on an pc?
I
thought we where talking about a
good and cheap motion system for agk to support and not about wath systems we like?
But then again if i had the skills to hack and program kinect so would i probably also love it alot more
