lol its the better version of kenetic

@angrykillalot Heheh GestureTek developed this internally many years before Kinect (circa 2002) but it wasn't very viable for the public as the setup was a little clunky.

IT uses 2 cameras to track movement inside a cubic space. Kinect uses depth cameras to track your movement in 3D. A different approach all together!

@phred75 there has been a lot of different ways that tracking movement in 3D has been done, i just think that this is better than the kinect.

@angrykillalot Heheh well good I'll let the programmer who designed this know!

@angrykillalot Heheh the video was posted 3 years ago.. that tech has been around for much longer!!

@thefoxgang LOL not a chance man. This was done LONG before Wii even existed. I know, I helped optimize the code for it.... :)
