This article may be axaggerated, but it's a fact that at the moment kinect is capable of one tenth of what was advertised still six months ago.

What did they say it was gonna do six months ago? Play motion games, let you go through some menus and yell some commands is about all I recall.

Halo reach
object scanning

Another amazing feature that Kinect promised back in 09 was the ability so ‘scan’ objects using the device, which could then be used inside whatever game you happened to be playing. A great idea in theory, and could have added a lot of depth to the Kinect platform. Unfortunately, when E3 2010 came around, there wasn’t a single mention of this feature and when asked about it in interviews, Microsoft employees remained vague about the issue. Consider it MIA.




@OT Kinect really hasnt bought anything mind blowing to the table, I can see why Nintendo and Sony turned this tech down


As far as I know you can use object scanning in Kinectimals... soooo? dunno what your problem with kinect is...

Reach has been released... and Milo was a tech demo as far as we know, it was just showing you what kinect could do.

correct me if I'm wrong here but afaik it's scanning in a code, not the object itself, like scanning in a barcode type of thing. Different ideas/situation

Troll_Whisperer on 15 April 2011

I remember back when my cousin had an Eye-toy (and no, I'm not comparing it to Kinect), there was a feature in This Is Football that let you use your Eye-toy to scan your face and put it in the game, so the players looked like you or your friends. That was quite cool. We even took a picture of his ass and create an ass-faced player, lol. I know this can be done through the internet with FIFA now, but I think it would be fun if Kinect used this kind of features more often for games. Even if a game is not totally Kinect-centric, they have to invent more ways to apply the technology to games in a fun way. I'm sure there are many things that could be done.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

can i correct you... cos you are wrong, but so is he.

you cant scan any objects into a kinect game as of yet i think.

nah I found this with some goolging..not exactly a barcode but it's kind of the same idea I guess

I think there are very good reasons why ms dont want people scanning "items" into games......  I know teenage boys are very sensible and would never play a prank but letting them loose on scanning "items" into games could get messy and somewhat of a legal nightmare.

Well, if what you say is true, it's sad because it would be a fun feature and it's been done before. In that case I think society is becoming too paranoid and it hurts innovation. Anyway, if not scanning, it would be nice if they found nice ways to implement Kinect in other ways. I'm not saying they implement Kinect in a shitty way in every game out there, but having some nice addition that only Kinect can provide would be nice IMO.

But Microsoft was teasing us with that feature, and PS Move/PS Eye-compatible games like Little Big Planet have been using it for a long time. Which is why I seriously doubt that this is the true reason.

And are you absolutely sure that M.U.G.E.N. is wrong when he says that Kinectimals does not do proper 3D object scanning, but only scans a simple 2D "barcode"? Because that's just what I have always heard as well.

I said six months ago. Not the concept video from 2009.

I know you dislike Kinect because it showed up Dance Masters LOL but please, MS arnt going to do NOTHING for Kinect come E3.

i agree, you should make more MS threads, I barely noticed you were back


Actually, I've come to the realization that it was PS2 that had all the DDR I ever wanted. DDR for PS3 was depressing, I could only imagine how shitty Dance Masters was.

Ditto, last time I saw you was in some MK thread. You're hardly noticeable yourself. Wait, you've seen my so called "complaining about VGC" post from some week ago ... stalker. I hardly even remembered that post. You're such a bad liar.

ah contradiction. It's a beautiful thing really. Almost like magic.

And they say Mafia brings nothing to VGC! This post is pure Mafia-mode hatmoza!



Signature goes here!

You can only scan tags with kinectimals. No objects. Not yourself,
