Kinect isn't even out yet and everyone has determined what Kinect will and will not be used for. Nobody know what is in the future for Kinect so lets give it a little time. I for one hope they do headtracking for 3D that was demonstrated in that youtube video. It would be a sweet add on to games like Gears and Halo and I wouldn't have to buy a 3D enabled tv and glasses.

uh....3D headtracking is not the same as a 3D tv, thats like comparing planes to windmills.
|
I didn't say it was. I'm saying I won't have to buy a new tv just to experience 3D. Watch this vid.

that is still not what 3D tvs do >_>;

Sigh I didn't say it was the exact same thing as a 3D tv. If the 3D effect can be produced in games without having to use expensive 3D tvs and equipment then I'm all for it. With headtracking its possible to get the 3D effect. You are saying I'm wrong? Was I watching a fake youtube video? Explain how I don't know what I'm talking about genius.

but the thing is, this is not the 3D effect, its just you moving in 3D space, just like every other 3D game ever created, just with motion sensoring to move this time instead of analog sticks.
3D effect is that the scene itself is rendered in 3D and that.... putting it simply , stuff pops up out of your tv  , its Stereoscopy and has nothing to do with head tracking and/or tracking 3D objects.

errr, you are both correct. there is several factors that go into depth perception.
1. size - all video games already use this regardless of the tech.
2. stereopsis - this is the merging of the two images of your eyes as they are slightly different. this is the tech in 3D tvs.
3. visual angles - basically as you move around, objects that are far away won't change their visual angle as much as objects that are close to you. this is what head tracking can accomplish.
1 and 3 both being "monocular" clues btw as in you can judge a certain amount of depth with only one eye (one image).
so not the same thing...but not entirely different either.
