I thought the first video did a very good job of looking like the woman but in a cartoony way.

The second video it was clear that the Kinect Unity or the Kinect sports was glitching because it would not for a long time bring up the map of the guys face.  This is to be expected as the software is unfinished.  Also the guy demoing clearly did not believe the results would be good as he stated before the finished results.

The third video seems to do exactly what its suppose to do so do not see any issue with it.  Its not trying to be an exact image of the person as ugly people probably do not want that so Rare on the software side is adjusting the image and probably have certain templates to clean up the representation.

Magic with hardware is realize in software.  Since Rare has 8 months before rivals release their will be plenty of time for them to work out the kinks.

Kinect uses IR for the scanning part so lighting does not make a difference.  Lighting comes into play when the RGB camera is getting skin tone and things that require color.  I believe the problem with the second video is that Kinect or Kinect sports was glitching which is something expected from unfinished code.

Gave you a Jay Leno chin though and your top lip to your nose looks sunken in/ deformed.  I would be pissed at it and reject it.  Miis > Avatars.

don't get me wrong he fucked up not because he is stupid and can't follow instructions.... but because he was looking all the time at the MS/Rare guy and shooke his head all the time...

try to do that with a high end laser scanner they use to scan greek antics in labs and you'll see the result.... to be fair in all logic... the more accurate the scanning the more sensitive to movement it will be... the first chick is the one that moved the least....

and for the hair that's a tough feature to scan like that... we'll see in 6 month what it looks like but usually I like to put crazy hair cuts on my avatars so I'm not to concerned....

Well whatever that is it looks ugly.  You can actually have tons of Miis that look like famous people or characters.  Show me a Avatar Homer Simpson that is on par with a Mii Homer.  I'm glad you can draw better than Miis but Miis can look like famous people more easy.  Microsoft probably charges people for special Avatars that look like people or for accessories (don't know but I can only assume, I know Sony does).  Anyways, since this isn't Avatars (I was assuming the facial recognition was being used to create an Avatar) then this whole debate doesn't really matter.  Also, it is about personal preference.  However, one can't deny there are way better looking famous people/characters on Mii than Avatar.

who gives a damn about famous people I don't want a paris Hilton avatar... I want a fun one... and mine is funnier than any Miis can be hands down and I didn't pay for a single accessory got all of them through achievements or free on the market place....
but yeah question of taste
