The point of Kinect is more of to show the future of gaming and living rather than to be the best way to game.

The best way to demonstrate that something works is by doing it. All of it. Not just little parts.

I sure hope that the future of gaming isn't motion capture'd Bejeweled. :(

They will most likely make it into some board game that runs off of a holographic board.

i just realized
kinect is opening the future for future business computers and stuffs

To be more specific, Augmented Reality in general is opening up new technologies. Some smartphones already have AR apps that can recognize store fronts and tell you where you are, where the entrance is and where the menu is.

Zugstar actually has some pretty cool and completely do-able ideas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSFiCHkZgkA

$150

Expensive yes but high-tech always costs a bit.
And if Sony made this first, it would probably cost at least $100 more.

To buy an HD-Wii, er I mean the PS3 Move, it would cost $50, assuming you already have a PS3. If you wish to play with your family it will cost another $90 to buy 3 more carrot-wands controllers. So that's a total of around $140 (although this is excluding the cost of batteries for each controller) in order to play 4-player Move, vs the Kinect which is will already support the family as is.

So yeah, either multiple cameras that keeps track of your body, face, and voice in order to control the game, or just 1 camera that follows a controller, that mimics a Wii-Remote with the extended Wii-Motion-Plus sensor.

Edit: Also, with Kinect, you can verbally tell your Xbox to play, stop, pause, and resume a movie with only your voice. There are also many other commands you can do, but I don't know them all yet.

Wait it's out now? Is it any good because I want to get it if it actually works good.

EDIT: Also is it just going to be a stuffty compilation of interactive family games?

How to collect wood: Hold your fists in the boxer position.
Look at a tree.
Pretend you're punching a dummy.

or 1 camera to keep track of your body face and voice.

I use my 8 dollar webcam to do stuff that is just the same as these animal rape simulation games. I spend 8 dollars, wait a week and download java to play cannonballz and DODGE MOTHER loving CANNON BALLS ON A PIRATE SHIP AND CATCH MY FRIEND'S SO THEY DON'T DROWN, or you can spend 150 dollars and rape animals.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, but it sounds more of like the Sony Eye-Toy, not Kinect.

You ever wonder what the bottom of an Avatar's shoe looks like?

Whabam!
