Hi, am quite looking forward to trying these kinds of UIs out, dunno if Rex could be a partner for this particular tech .. to make a xbox build of the viewer supporting this, perhaps :o . i think this is resulting from MS recently buying one machine vision based game UI company, don't recall the name of that. of course similar open source solutions would be great .. don't know how far CV or perhaps that Animata 2d puppeteering thing that mentioned earlier could get us now. of course EyeToy has been this for long, but seemed that the company MS bought had pushed the precision and sophistication of the camera based pose / gesture recognition further.
--- http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/microsoft-natal-will- replace-controller-604259 --- Microsoft has made a bold play by announcing a 'controller free' Xbox experience called 'Project Natal' using full body motion capture and voice recognition offering a jaw-dropping concpet of the future. Natal, which will work with all current Xbox 360s, is a revolutionary 3D motion sensor that incorporates voice recognition, ending what Microsoft termed 'the barrier of the controller.' Steven Spielberg was on stage to support the project – which was not given a launch date. --- end --- ~Toni --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
