Hiring another programmer.

We’re hiring another programmer into the new company, to do very interesting work with full-body motion tracking.

If interested, email me: jon@number-none.com. Please have substantial 3D game development experience and be good at what you do.

 

 

Is he speaking about Natal or something else?

Oh time to go to bed ;)



"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

 

""Windows [n.] - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.""

^^I actually just woke up to go to work.



Excellent! Somewhere in China there is a factory making hats for Microsoft. One hat for every developer who supports Natal...



Tease.

I hope they have good supplier managment tools to ensure they can make the large volume of hats.

If I were to read that not knowing any particular contextual info, I'd think this is something about motion capture, rendering, tweening and tweaking of skeletal animations. Not about the game interface.

I thought that as well, but "tracking" is a key word here.  Most would not use that word for pre-rendered or motion captured stuff.
