You will have to dress appropriately to play Kinect

Understandable, but it is pretty hilarious.

Sweet jebus. With all these stories coming out about Kinect's failings, you have to wonder if MS is just that incompetent or if Sony/Nintendo are trying to spread mis-information in the hopes of torpedoing it (I'll get the tin-foil hats!).

It just keeps getting worse and worse but most people here won't have to worry about the skirt issue.

:lol: Well, atleast the rumour that you have to wear bright clothing to play Kinect wasn't true.

The author isn't well informed. It has already been stated it can be used sitting down. As for not being able to wear long skirts, it's understandable. If a game is trying to detect your legs, it's going to have trouble if they're covered up, no? Don't see what the big deal is here.

And why do people here care? 99.9% don't wear long skirts...unless you're all kilt wearing Scottish. In that case your skirt might be short enough to work.

This was expected... There are far better reasons to bash Kinect than trivial ones like this.

This guy is ready to go and livin the dream:

If your going to play games like the ones on Kinect, are you really gonna want to wear a skirt anyway?

On another note, has the problem with Kinect detecting dark colours been cleared up yet?

Wow, that is one perverted device.

Is it just me or does Kinect scream more fail for each news article about it ? :S :roll:

Anyone who's read about how the hardware works should have already known this. Are people still confusing an near IR depth mapping with thermal vision?

Raise your hand if you wear long skirts.

Technically any clothing that obscures the 'normal' human frame too much will cause problems.

I wonder how it will deal with really fat people.

What the........i see like six lumps there.

I wonder if black people can play Kinect now, i remember hearing it had problems last year. Kinect is looking to be the most glitchy hardware ever released.

WTH MS!? Whenever I go to the gym I always wear a skirt!. With your new device I can't even pretend to run in front of my TV :cry:

And poor Scottish people! They won't be able to play either :(

Someone like that would just be an amorphous blob to Kinect.

Although is this revelation meant to mean that it will simply flip out because it thinks someone in a skirt has no legs, or will it just pause the game and say "DisKinected"

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] It would only affect it if you were trying to play a game specifically designed around standing.Ravensmash

Because you said the author isn't well informed, but then state that the game can be used sitting down, unless the game specifically requires you to be standing.

Therefore, the author is correct in the article.

Vague "experiences" will work with Kinect, without specifying how it will work or how well.

When one looks at the tech, how it creates a depth map, it likely doesn't work very well at all when you're "merged" with a sofa in a seated position, compared to when you're standing with free space around you.

It probably also depends on the libraries of human positions available.
