This I found kind of odd, too, but by that logic, buttons themselves are gimmicks. Gestures are simply taking the place of buttons.

Would probably just have to get used to it, like the Wiimote...the learning curve would be awful, as there would be one just to learn CONTROLS for every game.

Yeah seriously.

I love the idea, but this is what happens when you get brilliant technical geniuses trying to make something fun.  Amazing tech, horrible application.  That's the dumbest speed control I've ever heard of.  It should at least be some sort of spaceship or robot or something instead of a realistic human car.  If I want to steer a realistic human car I want to use a steering wheel controller, like the one on the Wii.

I bet it can be used very well in a couple years, but I highly doubt it will be a gamechanger within the current generation.

I love the way he says "Whooooa!" like he's having the most boring time of his life.

Gesturetek ,nice.

Dude this is never gonna be really huge. Wii was built, from the ground up, around the idea of motion controls, simplicity and ease of use, to attract everyone. The Wiimote was originally planned as a GameCube add-on, but instead saved for the next console, the Wii. The whole point of Wii is that it's easy for anyone to pick up and play, to be intuitive and fun, and that has from the very beginning been the case.

This idea, if it ever comes to fruition, is merely gonna be an add-on for 360. It won't get full support from developers, much like the sixaxis, and won't be implemented in every game. My guess is that at best, it's gonna be the 360's Eye Toy.

Look at Wii Fit.  If anything it shows that it might not matter if every system comes with a peripheral in order for it to be a major success.

There are certain things which are simply well suited for buttons, like... a fire button, or accelerating/braking in a racing game. Some Wii games exaggerate with the motion controls and people don't like it.

The problem is not just the learning curve. It's that you'll have to keep your hands at a specific distance which can get tiring, and will probably stop working if you get excited at some point in the game... That and we could all see how "well" the demo in the video went.

You're such a dreamer Legend11. Now u got my hopes up for MS going to reveal something revolutionizing at E3.

I don't really see how this would be any harder for anyone to pick up and play than the Wii Remote.  How hard would it be for someone to pick up bowling for example when you would basically use the exact same motions you do when you're playing it in real life?

I don't see it working out for this gen. Seems... too late....

Whether or not such technology is revealed at e3, it does have a great amount of potential. Very interesting concept
