so everyone forgot that gran turismo 5 had headtracking already?

Moreover, it was a superficial feature based on your face position, not angle of look.

It sells like hotcakes in Japan...Not!

Making a cool gaming technology on a cheap configuration... Why Nintendo, Why? With addition to new gaming mechanic, "please" make a powerful system. Graphics don't belong to last gen, two gens before...Graphics make sense, too.

But i can understand... Gamecube, a powerful gaming system with no special gaming mechanic, was an epic fail for Nintendo. After that fail, Nintendo changed its marketing strategy. Making a less powerful console with awesome gaming mechanics. Just to play some fun casual games.

3DS... This time Nintendo's second fail comes... 3DS will disappoint gamers. The voice inside me told me that Nintendo would fail this time.

Hardcore gamers laugh last, laugh best. Casual games can't be sold after solid hardcore game releases, so Microsoft is making its move with some casual games. Silence before storm...

My first Half Life 2 experience was the best.

It should be Shenmue 3, without doubt.

Clive Barker's Undying was great. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was good too.

okay the start talking about eyecam. eyetoy for ps2 is not up to standard with kinect (obviously) , but what about the eyecam for ps3 thenSupermaester

The PsEye is very fast webcam with advanced 2D to 3D emulation software support. This cam's software is hunting pixels and comparing a possible human form templates. Hackers can make templates and compare to create 3D sample of what cam see.

Otherwise "estimation based conversion". It's not a real 3d mapping, just a compare-based emulation. The procedure is just like voice recognition.

But Kinect is using real time 3d character models. It uses infrared projection and one standard cam for taking pics and capturing videos.

Let's watch these videos

Kinect's infrared emitter

This crazy thing can make a 3d model of a whole room.

For most practical uses of gesture control, that suffices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-yR5ozxw4E for example has 3d working pretty well with only a PSeye.

We'r talking about EyeToy for PS2, not EyeCam for Ps3.

And PsEye is a sample of advanced type of 2D to 3D emulating tech.

As you know, comparing the technology between Super Mario 2 with Super Mario Galaxy is senseless... So is Comparing Kinect with EyeToy.

Eyetoy is a basic technology that is based on computing from 2D images. Kinect is much more complex. Calculating depth, creating a 3D model of your body, and animating it in 3D space.

Digimask is based on converting 2D to 3D with emulation. Not real 3D
