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.

that's not completely true, unlike the Kinect the Move also Has a Magnetic field directional sensor in the Move controller, thus to eliminate quite a bit of external interference input, because the Magnetic field sensor in use also act's as a compass:

example:

The Move configuration  The advantage here is that you don't need to be pointing at the screen to get an XYZ reading, not to mention the XYZ reading is more accurate and absolute than Wiimote 's method. The disadvantage, one would think, is how do you do pointing and orientation?  The Move's sensors can track even faster motions than the Wiimote . What little M drifts in the yaw axis, Move will have that covered via the magnetometer, therefore it doesn't need an IR bar.

Move doesn't need a sensor bar to do pointing. Tilting up and down doesn't need a sensor bar since it can just use gravity as an absolute. Yaw left and right can stay in check thanks to the magnetometer, which detects the earth's magnetic field.

though if the lighting in the room is pitch black the position of the Move would in effect be static due to no light, but that's if there is no light..lol

yeah... its the flashing lights... thats exactly it... thats why it works when they stop... oh wait... they dont stop.



You think MS would have learned a thing or two from the Sega CD.

Their has been a lot of good feedback on kinect when it was being tested at E3. So something went wrong on that stage it happens with all new products. But this is nothing more then flame bait for xbox haters. If Microsoft really didn't have faith in this product in my opinion they wouldnt be holding these big live demo events. So obviously something unexpected happened on that stage.

Real world. When you least expect it, it barges in.   

Kinect is aimed at people that mostly won't even read the user manual, so unexpected things and behaviours will be the rule, not the exception.

what's up with white people loving chicks with no ass, for me no ass = no love by the way kinect > move first year, move > kinect lifetime



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

wrong there is plenty of move coverage several lkocations was dark and lots of photos being taken, go research for gdc and e3 footage, and there are other venues they have showed it off around the us, also 0 move glitches, lots of kinect videos showing familiar glitches on each one

Although I am white.. I agree with the first part of your post (but not the second)...

i prefer women to look like women... rather than young boys... weird arent we.

wait didn't i get banned some months ago for claiming the hardware part of kinect was falwed, and i have seen many videos including this one that back's up all my claims, i am going to go grab popcorn now, people who ignore the move and buy kinect will only be hurting themselves in the long run...



Let's all ignore the Wii's fiasco with Skyward Sword, who says the same thing can't happen to Kinect or Move during live demos?

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

Problem here is that MS stated that Kinect works in any lighting conditions, including a dark room.

Now to use Kinect while watching movies you need all the lights on?

 

 

I think the big problem many people are having is that it appears that Kinect's hype was built on quite a few lies.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
