Unfortunately for this thread this technology scares the living shit out of some on these forums. Specifically the fans of other console brands who see this kind of technology as a unthinkable threat. As such you are just going to run right into a wall of denial and dismissal. Most people who are going to post aren't going to contribute to the very real very cool possibilities this presents, but will instead do their damnedest to dismiss it outright.

I think it is a very cool, and a very useful concept for gaming. To me the most interesting thing isn't the visuals. As this technology is married to a Kinect. That means the images that are being projected can also be manipulated, or interacted with. It isn't about motion control. So much as this will allow the console to project a large virtual keyboard onto and surface, and that means as console gamers all game genres can now really be open to us. Specifically those games that need deeper interfaces then what current controllers allow.

Same thought. :)

It looked like every game they were playing was from the 90s.

Still, this looks quite cool, could be the best use of Kinect on a console.

Having the word admin in a username is very confusing. I don't think the mods will allow it.

the video made me feel very overwhelmed, dizzy and annoyed. Good luck to MS since most people wont be able to enjoy it during day light.

Daylight?



 

looks like MS is over expanding on kinect tech which proves somewhat interesting. just watched a vid on GI that diidn't imprees

here's the link to the pic of the possible patent http://regmedia.co.uk/2012/09/17/ms_xbox_kinect_patent.jpg



a bigger field of view is very very welcome - unforunately console games often have a very small field of view

looks like a neat feature for the future
