Forums - Microsoft - Sexy Ladies can't disguise Kinect Live demo fail

Puggsly what exactly is your investment in Natal kinect?

why attack the Move and say it has gotten less attention/ claim the lighting isnt right, nobody cares about move.. etc.?

Gaming sites and actual fans of gaming are excited for move. SONY is creating excellent uses for the tech which will obviously be supported by developers for a long time because yes it does infact use a similar interface as the wii. Is that not okay with you?

You can spout off nonsense about it being a wiimote and then say.. woops and so can I.

Kinect is obviously a stillborn at this point imo technologically speaking. Even if Microsoft (a software company) manages to get it together with Kinect, I wont support it out of spite... which is obviously what you seem to be doing with the Move imo.

Of course I will give credit where its due, and I think we should all try and do the same

I watched the Macy videos and the Hong Kong show and it seems to me to be a combination of factors sometimes it is the person who does not understand what they need to do, others it may be the excessive flash photography and yet others may be actual bugs.

What I did take away as usual, is the looks of genuine enjoyment on the faces of the persons taking part. Considering it is not going well that says a lot for the fun factor.

This is technology and especially when being shown on the big screen with lots of people is almost guranteed to go wrong. After all how many simple powerpoint presentations go wrong because the guy cannot figure out how to use the projector or his own laptop.

Although this has nothing to with Move it has everything to do with Move as it is the direct competitor. The fact we see lots of information about Kinect and the fact we do not see hardly anything about move says something.

So basically lets bring PSmove into kinect discussion to divert ppl's interest into how there's nobody that cares for PSmove instead of sticking to the topic which is KINECT HAVING PROBLEMS.

The important thing here is that by comparing Move to Kinect, we can see one has no problems doing what it is supposed to do, the other has many.

LOL see now were talking about PSmove vs Kinect instead of the original topic in this thread which is all about kinect issue, I was right.=)

My guess is the flashing is interfering with the Kinect. We can't tell if the Move has the same problem because nobody cares. I mean... given that we see little coverage on the Move.

Anyhow, is Kinect being released in Japan for the Holidays?

why bring PSmove in this thread?

What does PSmove have anything to do with Kinect issue discussion? so what if PSmove isn't getting much attention? IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT KINECT IS FLAWED.

BTW this is already on VGC news front page.

PS Move also uses a camera. So perhaps tons of flashing lights could interfere as well.

Obviously a room with tons of nonstop flashing lights is not the enviornment the Kinect is intended to be used.

here are no flashing lights, and from 4:25 it doesn't work so well either.

 

 

and i don't see why move is being discussed either.

For some reason it bugged out there, but it seems to work great for the most part. Its new technology, I don't expect perfection. I struggle with my god damn Wiimote all the time.

I mentioned Move because it also uses the camera. Perhaps the tons of flashing could interfere with the camera as well.

perhaps shmerhaps.

here is a video of some sneaky Germans trying to distract Move with a flashlight directly into the camera and they fail!

it's right at the start in the haircutting game

 

Not quite the same as tons of flashing lights engulfing the people playing.

But the hair cutting game isn't even tracking the people. It just follows that ball on the Wiimote Movemote.

of course it's different, it's always different, it's never the same, is it? it's only the same if you need is as example where perhaps the move could be distracted in a similar fashion in some parallel universe.

but i have yet to see a video where the Move fails, but there are plenty of those for the eyetoy  Kinect.

see what i did there?

Well Eyetoy didn't work properly if a room was too dark. I imagine too much brightness can be an issue as well. Regardless, the game he used as an example was following a ball and not people. So yes, its very different.

If the Eyetoy was just a Kinect than why don't they make some motion tracking games? Why do I have to play The Fight with those Movemotes? Why do I need those Movemotes to dance? Oh right... its just a webcam.

Kinect = New technology

Movemote = Exactly what it looks like

Is the net going to be full of disappointed Konect customers days after the release?

Could be a PR nightmare if it happens, but there are already a million pre-prders so Microsoft may not care that much as they would have made massive profit very quickly,

Remember the old Wii trailers? It showed people playing golf, boxing, and other activities. It seemed like the device was following your exact motions. What a big crock of shit that was.
