A touch of exaggeration so?
"Tsunoda said that such detection was possible, though the sensitivity would be different at different distances. He thought my fingers idea was do-able." is not quite "it can track the exact movements of your finger".
See, for exact tracking each finger would have at least three but probably four points. So that's 30-40 joints, and Natal only tracks 48 points in total. 30 points for fingers and only 18 for the rest of the body? I'm sure it does finger tracking, but I really doubt you're going to be able to use small movements to pretend to pull a trigger, push a button and the like. |
Well why would it track each finger if it won't track the movment? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It'll probably track one or two points on each finger, but a finger is small, movements done with it are subtle and quick. It would have much greater potential for error than tracking larger body parts that have broader movements. The fact that Natal operates at 30Hz is not a problem for tracking arms etc., but it could easily be an issue for tracking fingers exactly.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
