Kinect Is A Glimpse Of The Future.

So there's been alot of people saying Xbox will fail bc of Kinect. maybe. maybe not. but what if it becomes successful? i know a bunch of people are going to say..."No not a chance." Fact is....this IS the technology of the future. The way we advance in technology these days, it'll be sooner or later that millions of electronics will have similar more advanced tech. Touchscreens have been making waves this past decade and have u noticed how almost everything out there is "touch sensitive" now? Like it or not, controllers will be obsolete in the future, hopefully not anytime soon but they will be. Oh and guys...Kinect is not replacing the Xbox controller...Games that were designed for the controller just that...Games designed with kinect is just that. Don't expect to play CoD or Halo on Kinect, its common sense but then again System Wars intellect skips the common sense phase all together. Kinect probably won't be breaking any ground this year, but in the following years, expect the tech to go further than any of you thought, point of the thread is, Kinect is a small glimpse of the next decade in technology.

P.S. - THIS SIMPLY ISN'T ABOUT GAMING. Its technology in general.

It is the tech of the future. Also known as pseye2 ;)

Have we figured out how to walk?

Or turn around and still be able to see the screen?

kinect will have no part in the future if they fail to develop games as deep as those from traditional mechanics.Brownesque

Its going to be moderately successful period. But it sure as hell isn't the future. And Microsoft doesn't have the talent to make mega blockbuster titles. Neither does Sony really and that's what these devices need.

if there's a future in Kinect it won't be from Microsoft's current strategy

the fact that the only 2 games worth mentioning are 3rd party says something when Microsoft has put a lot of emphasis on their 1st party lineup

anyways i think being critical of something new is NEVER bad, people like to complain about complaining, but would the PS3 have been as good if we just accepted ridge racer and giant enemy crab as excellent additions to our industry? NO, similarly Kinectimals and Wii rip-offs need to DIAF

you do know that Kinect uses the same tech used in the eyetoy, 3DVKevinButlerVP

it looks pretty stupid to me. I'd rather player the Wii or PS3 motion controller.

So was the Dreamcast. It had online, and some motion sensing tech. Also, the analog placement.

What is wrong with you people! He is not saying Kinect is the future and microsoft is great and whatever, he's saying that the innovation of extreme motion sensing is going to catch on, whether we like it or not.

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"][QUOTE="FatedX360"] the Kinect is a redesigned 3DV. The rights to the Zcam were sold to Microsoft and thats what became Kinect.Foliage-King

Yes, it *will* be a successful period. As in a menstruation. Cookie for the who gets the reference.

[QUOTE="FatedX360"][QUOTE="Micropixel"] Kinect is a camera. Everything that makes Kinect work is based on the technology of a camera. Cameras are not new stuff, guys. Also, It DOES NOT track motion like the Wii Motion Plus does. It tracks what the camera "sees". Anything that obstructs that line of sight or vision, such as darkness, brightness, color, etc will affect it's functionality... like a camera. Every notice how some things don't always capture perfectly on a camera? Well then, there you go. This is why Nintendo opted to NOT use camera based technology and went with Gyroscopes and infrared sensors and all their other gizmos... because through their trials and errors with the very same technology that Kinect is using, they found that Infrared and Gryoscopes are specifically designed and better suited for measuring and tracking motion than a camera is. Kinect will work. But there will be flaws. We'll all come across these flaws and we'll see for ourselves. Because it's a CAMERA. And It will have all the same limitations of a camera.Micropixel

No.

G-speak is a glimpse of the future and it's been demoed since like 2005.

It's the only gestural interface system that should really be claiming Minority Report-like controls, not only because it's the only one that really does them properly, but because one of the engineers behind it was a consultant for that movie.

I find it ironic that people who were saying a controller without vibration was a step backward are now saying that controllerless gaming is the future.

[QUOTE="AndromedasWake"] Looks close enough to the same to me, even right down to the games. Hey, it may be cool, really. I actually would love to try out that game for the PS3, eyepet, I think? The one with the monkey, it looks neat, and my niece would love it. Just hasn't been released here in the states for some reason.Tigerrus
