Microsoft should create a higher resolution, higher end one for stuff like this.

[seriouslyWeird]

see, that's what happens when you release something to public

people who keep the information confidential and let everyone pay for patents are fucking pathetic

[Andrestopmo]

your a genius microsoft should hire you

[yanivcogan1]

are you working right now on any kinect project? it has a much bigger potential then the wii remote, and also it has other features, like scanning object and enviorment if you search on youtube for "microsoft research" channel you will find some nice examples for kinect' capability, I was particulary impressed by the porject "kinect fusion" (kinect fusion might also be called 3d models in real time)' "indoor augmented reality" "holodesk" and "vermeer interactive display".

@KrykoStorm Or get 4 or 5 Kinects

[AcidLies]

wired published an article saying that microsoft was hoping to publish an open source version of kinect and a commercial version too! Think about it, how much cgi went into avatar and movies like that, but now you can create the model and have the actors really act it and it will automatically form that :D

1:37 Gurren?

[rodstartube]

@KrykoStorm if a microsoft version appears, it would be expensively sold, would crash and would need service packs every 1 month
