Look at the videos in the opening post of that thread. I would love to hear you explain how the move or wii-mote could do anything shown there.

Have fun trying to spin an explanation

I have fun doing some better stuff than watching a camera thingy doing camera stuff. That type of thing was nice when I was dazzled by discovery science some years ago and they used to do all sort of stuff with cameras.

They even did an hologram thingy using wiimotes:

 

 

Have fun watching how 2 wiimotes and some other aparattus can deliver this. Touchable holograms. So far ahead of old camera tricks =)

 

Have fun watching. And you don't need to explain or spin something. Just watch it =)

Old camera tricks? wow you seriously betrayed your ignorance with that statement. Kinect is the first cheap and publicly available 3D camera open to the mass market.

The video you showed is using the IR camera on the wii-mote, its nothing unique to the controller, any IR camera would do just fine, they probably just used it because its cheap. The videos I posted are completely new and innovative things created in the matter of a few weeks by people in their own homes and universities.

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you?

I was on your side until this post where you shot yourself in the foot.

you point out how kinect is great because it is the first cheap and publicly available 3D camera open to the mass market and then go on to say that the thing with the wii motes isn't impressive because you could do it with any IR camera and only used wii motes because they were cheap.

and so by your logic all the stuff that people are doing with kinect aren't impressive because they could be done with any 3D camera and are only using Kinect because it's cheap...
