Using Kinect 2, when a gamer is using a controller, Xbox 8 will be capable of displaying the user's Avatar in-game mimicing the actual gestures of the controller input.  If the gamer presses the A button to perform a kick, the Avatar will mimic that kick rather than require a gamer to physically kick.


Sorry I couldn't resist. Press a button to kick, what a great idea!

I love my Xbox, but I thought the exact same thing. Mind = Blown!

I realize it's not a major point, but its coming.  I think the point of it is simply to allow the gamer to remain emersed, as well provide a similar experience for both controller-free and controlled gaming experiences.
