In a bid to fight obesity, a number of researchers have been tasked with making a 'boxing' game that helps folks shed those very excess pounds. Various things had been considered although the team opted for a cross between the Wii and Move. The project leader denoted that the team had considered alternative console based motion caputre systems with cameras (Kinect) although they were 'too slow' to capture high speed movements of participants. The researcher noted that they only work at 30fps which does not capture the full speed motion of a punch.

There is boxing in Kinect Sports and I've seen gameplay of it work quite well. Recognizes blocks, uppercuts, jabs, hooks, etc in normal punch speed. Unless the players are professional boxers I don't think its noticeable. Are you scowering the internet for negative articles about Kinect? I don't see how you could just come across that article online by accident.

but the move can though.. that's a serious disadvantage..

As I said Kinect works fine for boxing on Kinect Sports. Time will tell if a new more sophisticated boxing title is released for Kinect. Move will not track head or feet movement on the Z-axis so its not full 1:1 except on the Move controller. Unless you strap one to your head its only going to track your hands 1:1. How you going to dodge punches with the move? Doesn't track your feet. If you use the Nav controller you can only punch with one hand. Kinect is better set up for boxing so if it doesn't work on Kinect it won't work any better on the Move.

well I did come across that article online by accident =P

defensive much

kinect isn't 1:1 though =/ And as far I know boxing is mostly an upper body sport..

Yeah since I notice you post negative articles about Kinect and create threads bashing anything 360 on an hourly basis.

Off Topic: I'm trading in KZ2 which I just bought 3 weeks ago in for Reach.The game is garbage. Secondly my new 160 GB PS3 has frozen 3 times in the past 3 weeks since I bought it and its well ventilated. Thirdly my 360s hasn't had one single problem since I bought it in June. Just wanted to throw out some info to against the myth that the PS3 is so much better than the 360, because it isn't.

Yeah if you want to stand in one spot swinging your hands without any body movement or head movement. Try boxing on the Wii. Thats how boxing on the Move will be. Not boxing at all.

Edit: How do you know Kinect isn't 1:1? Did you help design it? Oh no wait you're still in High School. You pretty much rely on rumors and hearsay on anything you know.

I do? Can you give me a link to one..

also at the "how do you know it's not 1:1" well according to every developer working on kinect, it's not 1:1

Yeah here is one. Took me 30 seconds to find it.
