Maybe you should read up on the tech before commenting. (1.or you should? Perhaps you could post a link to the research papers MS has published on it)
Especially as now you're a programmer doing this sort of thing. (2.am I?)
Basic guesturing in co-op? Seriously? For someone claiming to do research into this to post
"So Halo: Natal will recognize hand gestures in the shape of a pistol, and listen for you to say "pow pow!" or "zap!" to recognize when you fire?
That will be awesome to see. Awesome in a really funny way, I mean. Shooter games will become much more entertaining and light hearted.
Casual Halo... hmm."
Or
"They aren't going to be able to combine the two interfaces. The idea is that its a control-less interface, not an augmentation."
shows how little scope you have (3.uh, what?) and how your research will never come to much with you at the helm (okay...). The fact you're trolling and making this up is immaterial (4.or so you say, and we should all believe you).
They have shown it to you but you refuse to see it. (um... they showed it to me? I saw some demos that were utterly unimpressive))
You have you're mind made up and nothings going to change it but keep telling us how much it wont work then saying that you hope it will prove you wrong so it looks like you're impartial. (5.I didn't say it wouldn't work. I said it seems unproven, and that I doubt MS' claims. You take them at their word... good for you.. I guess)
Also at the Mike thing,
Lmfao.
Yes it is a British thing. We call everyone Mike and not Dave.
Your credibility is zero. (if you say so. I guess that makes my credibility, as a percentage of yours, undefined... 0/0) |
I have no comeback for this utterly uninformed comeback with no actual backing, other than some 2D single-player tech demos in custom-lit environs which are easily accomplished with an average video camera. You win... Mike.
Just for fun, let me ask you a question any vision expert.. and their dog, would know the answer to.
Name someone who didn't get a PhD at Carnegie Mellon, because their research wasn't "revolutionary enough", yet whose revolutionary work is the basis of a great number of modern vision techniques. Careful not to wikipedia too awful much. ;)
EDIT: In 24 hours or so, I'll give you an additional clue, to help you jog your memory.

Ok here goes,
1. You don't need to read the actual research papers to know what it can or they hope it will do. There are plenty of testimonials of people that have used it and videos demonstrating it but you have already dismissed them because it suits you to do so.
2. I was joking. I know you're not a programmer or scientist.
3. Really. You don't get it?
4. I'm not the only one who said so.
5. I don't take them at their word but seeing as you seem to not like that why do you decide to take them at their word when it suits you? "They aren't going to be able to combine the two interfaces. The idea is that its a control-less interface, not an augmentation." Yes they said the idea is for controller-less but doesn't mean you can't use one.

lok at "Harmonix recently said it was looking into Natal for the next Rock Band. Will Guitar Hero follow suit?"
What's the PhD nonsence in here for? It sure as hell isn't you. Well done you know the name of a scientist. We all do. Chances are I know someone you don't.
Anyway about the Mike thing. It's not fair to let that continue so i'll explain it to you bud  Before your post there is a post from Mike from Morgantown. I was referring to that. It has nothing to do with you.
Funny how you think everything is about you... /jk

Apparently you didn't know what I meant by "paper", which I find... fascinating. You thought I meant "interview"?
The answer to the question, by the way, was: Irwin Sobel. He came up with the Sobel operator -- a convolution operator (that's the hint) used in many modern day edge detection techniques. As a matter of fact, image convolution / edge detection is probably the basis around which the Natal system works. If its not, well then that would be both cool and revolutionary. As I said before, I'd love to see the research paper.
I wouldn't recommend heading on over to Beyond3D and talking trash about graphics hardware for your next trick, Flash.
