kinect has the ability to scan items. use peripherals duh.

I wonder how well that works

looks like Rol is on a Roll in this thread. he's getting quoted by everyone.

well kinect ti suppose to scan real world items which sounds dangerous to me. imagine scanning a real sword in for the new fable game.

since it hasn't been used yet and likely won't see much support either we'll never know or tome will tell?

i really doubt it could recognize a real sword, and a broom and notice the difference.

im going with we'll never know, it was a hyped feature and ive heard little since the release from anyone. That tells me, at least i think, the feature as it is now, probably is not worth a damn. I actually like the Kinect i just understand the limitations and accept it, i have no problems playing stuff like Kinect sports and what not. Those are actually fun. 

It's been already officially put out that Kinect is only capable of recognizing basic shapes - nothing complicated. IIRC, it doesn't even see fingers - just hands in general - so it definitely wouldn't see the difference between a broomstick, a sword, and a baseball bat.
