Haha I would love to see a fatass swing his hand, lose balance, and crash into the TV

This shit is legit.

True. I guess the best use for this would be to create character animations and such. However, in the way it was demoed in the video, it would be possible to utilize this motion capture as a game feature. Of course, past experiences with such "features" ended up being nothing more than a gimmick unfortunately. I hope that one day, this kind of tech could be used in games, on the consumer side.

Luckily I'm a developer and own a Torque license, so I might be able to give this a go one day! :-)
