| Infamy79 said: What I don't understand is that both Move and Kinect depend on camera technology to work, so if there is lag on one, there would be on the other. The fact that one is detecting glowing orbs and the other using motion detection of the body shouldn't make that much difference. It's still the time it takes for an image to be captured on camera and analysed by the device/software. |
The bolded is the critical part. In Kinect's case the software is not just finding the 3d placement of a glowing sphere, but constructing a 3d skeltal model based on what comes out of the hardware (the rgb camera "normal" image plus the depth camera map).
It's a lot more work, and can thus tax the system computationally and require more time per frame, possibly resulting in lag.
