No pants wouldn't be a problem.

This is something I noticed quite some time ago when some douchey morning TV host was trying out Ricochet. He loosened his suit jacket, and as he moved his torso around, the jacket would swirl around his hips and the sensor would freak out.

It might be possible to compensate with some super-clever algorithms, but it's obviously a pretty big challenge for the technology. Some people are going to get bad first impressions from this, but it's not unlike solar reflections messing with the wiimote's IR. That problem doesn't seem to have impacted the market much.

Microsoft joins vote to ban the Burka confirmed?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

A person missing arms might not be able to use Kinect?  How is that a potential Kinect hiccup?  Can a person missing arms play with a controller?

If they don't have a prosthetic leg, they probably shouldn't be trying to dance and run track.
