How do they do Dance Central without full skeletal pickup?

I guess they could downgrade it to Wand movements, but isnt that losing the appeal of what Dance Central is?

This.

I know this is going to be controversial and stuff, but Move and Kinect both have their strengths and limitations.  THIS game is all about Kinect strengths.  A Move version would likely be downgraded so much that it would actually hurt sales and the reputation of the Move.  

The only way either new motion controller can succeed is if they recognize the strengths and limitations of each and completely AVOID game types that highlight the limitations.

Eyetoy could do it.

So there's no reason PS3 Eye and Move can't.

Eh... that's just registering an on-screen prompt.  Kinect basically does that for it's dashboard implementation, only it doesn't require a specific area to be hit even (just general left/right/up/down movements).  Even Wii sans Motion Plus could probably manage what's done in this video.

That's not at all full body tracking, which is something we've also yet to see in any PSEye games or game demos afaik...

I'm afraid there's this notion of full body tracking that I haven't grasped yet. What I could find is the following :

"Kinect tracks your full body movement in 3-D, while responding to commands, directions, even a difference of emotion in your voice, a much more advance version of the eyetoy."

Now that doesn't mean much to me, I'm not even sure of what 3-D has to do in this. Full body tracking, to me, would be a matter of processing information in a certain way. But then, I would think than any camera can do it.

Feel free to explain it to me. But then, if your definition of full body tracking resembles that of "spinoff", I may just be losing my time.
