3-D Camera/Depth sensor - Project Natal

Google it to find out what it is!

Or you can find it here if you don't want to google it...

Spoiler:

And a video of it in action...

Spoiler:

And if you don't want to watch the videos:

Project Natal uses a 3-D camera (can detect depth unlike the EyeToy which only detects 2-D movements) to track your body in the real world. This can be used to control your character in game, to move how you move. For example if you wave your hand in the real world infront of the camera, the character will wave their hand. Project Natal also has facial and voice recognition for other purposes as well.



Yeah... So... Lets talk about it

awsome

Yeah, I really want to try it when it comes out, (that is if it works) good for people who want to lose weight, or need to


You get to use your WHOLE BODY and move in 3-D space.



(Going to change topic name to 3-D Camera/Depth sensor - Project Natal)

Of course, we could spiral downwards into some discussion regarding the increasing similarity between human and robot, etc.

Why would we do that

That's soooo cool :O hehe

A step closer to a real virtual reality suit! I really want it when it comes out (or most likely when the price has gone down )

lol...then you could make a video of yourself wearing it and show us what you can do

With project Natal you don't need to wear anything! It's just a camera that senses where you are in three dimensions! But I wonder what the limits are for that... Lets say your controlling your avatar, what happens if you like make yourself in a knot? Or wear a costume while your controlling your avatar? Hmm...


EDIT: When I said you don't need to wear anything, I meant you don't need to wear sensors on you

lolz

I knew that...I was just testing you

I hope you do wear stuff... When you play that game. It would be disturbing otherwise...

"Mom! The neighbors are having naked video game night again!"

LOL

That would be scary.

creepy

Anybody else have an opinion?

I don't want to start a Butlerian Jihad
(look it up)

don't feel like looking up anything maybe later

Mmhm, same.

hehe the lazy eCanadians club oh it's actually a good idea why not make one ?

Haha, I see you DID make one.

Btw... want me to make you an eBachelorette competition of your own?

Yes yes lol you already did it but I wanted to spam

sounds great... but to be effective, you would virtually need to be in a box of cameras...

really?

lol yeah... cameras pointing from every angle... for a non complex game it would be sweet.
