E3 2010: Five Concerns about Kinect

#3:

"Right now, Kinect only works when you stand. This includes menu navigation. All the cool options to grab a slider and advance through frames of a movie you are watching only work when you are on your feet. Kinect, we've been told, has problems handling your skeletal frame while sitting. The voice commands still work, but every game we've seen and even simple menu navigation have to be done with you out of your seat. That's not exactly how I want to watch my movies. If the focus for Kinect is creating games like Dance Central that naturally would require you to be off your couch, that's great. But I have to say, no one thinks "I am driving a car!" while standing up in their living room."

Well now I can't buy one {actually I couldn't buy one because my room is set up all wrong. If I want to stand up in front of my TV, I have to be about 50cm away from a 40" screen, the top of which doesn't even reach my waist...} but I can still play Gears of War 3 and that is all that really matters
