when I checked them out It was due to their very high frame rate compared to other live camera devices

Q: Can I use high-resolution cameras to improve tracking quality?
A: No. For our software higher resolution does not give much benefit. As this is markerless technology, we do not need to track small markers, and 640 x 480 resolution will work as good as HD. For motion capture fps (frames per second) is much more critical parameter for tracking accuracy. Sony PS Eye camera, that allows to record at 60 fps with low distortions, is currently most recommended model. "
I've been looking at home motion capture software for a while.
I was checking out the demo of the alternative and similarly priced
Iclone which works in realtime with a Kinect, it is however a little laggy and stiff for fast actions, however for basic animations like walking and gesturing it is ok.
aparently I have an unusual range of motion in my limbs...(I Don't)
good for basic animations, and you can put your face onto their standard model easily, which is kinda cool.
I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.
