Wouldn't this be a good use of the Kinect?

People seem to be assuming that this means the Kinect would automatically "detect" minors and block them from playing M-Rated games.

Rather than the much more feasible possibility of using it to aid Parental Controls. You know, Kinect will recognize certain family members... parents tell it not to play for certain ones... bam, no big brother, just parents.

Seems reasonable compared to what's already being done with Kinect.

This is a much better idea, as i didn't know kinect could calculate age?

Some 15 year olds look 18, so 21 year olds look only 16, that would be annoying, getting blocked even if your old enough because your kinect 'thinks' your not old enough.

 

What if they judge the age by height?

Sorry, Tyrion...
