Don't play dumb, you know the Kinect has far more capabilities than the Eyetoy. You might wanna do some reading on it before you compare it to a webcam. |
just copying this list in can't be bothered reading it. used in before when people call the eye a web cam. oh and it is funny Microsoft want to ignore there last adventure in using camera technology for games. xbox live vision. they were so boastful at the time.
ps eye:
augmented reality which includes, gender recognition, facial recognition, age recognition, object recognition (patented well everyday items are patented), facial expression recognition (patented well laughter is patented), head tracking
there is a mic but it's primary purpose was to help detect the position of the user, in my experience it isn't good at voice recognition, although that could be down to the software aswell,
movement detection
there is more I'm just not thinking of it at the moment. oh and most of the augmented stuff is from what sony says is in its vision library with the exception of eyepet very few games use them.
natal (based on what MS has told us)
augmented reality from what I have seen they also have a pretty descent library although they haven't demonstrated or shown age recognition. I don't see any reason why they can't do it though the facial expression and use of everyday items are patent protect so unless there is away round it. it includes gesture recognition.
3d depth tracking,
full body tracking,
mic, primarily designed as a command interface,
one step up from the eye's movement detection instead of using the pixels, alone to determine movement it will use two lenses and an IR sensor
area you have to be in will adjust depending on the size of the room.
built in processor to do the calculations, freeing up the 360, processor. (the chip is called prime sense made and named after the company behind the tech),
again there is more probably a lot more with natal but this is just of the top of my head.
this was before e3 2010 and I am to lazy to update it.
correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).
