Crazy new Sony patent for tracking your dance moves using motion sensing cameras that attach to your hands & feet sensing your every move with the help of the patterns on a dance mat.
Kinect 2.0 does this without attaching crap to your arms and legs.
Sony has lost the race in motion capture and their money would be much more wisely spent in drumming up some AAA first party games not chasing half baked crap that can't hold a candle to the competition. You have a good gaming console Sony stay focused on that.
This is a patent, as in, they are just reserving this for themselves just in case(in what case, dont ask me)
Most patents don't ever get used, like the one patent two years ago that showed 2 PS Move-like controllers that can connect to each other for use as a gamepad.
That patent evolved to what is now today the DualShock4
I'll tell you why because it's too slow & not accurate enough this would be more accurate & you would be able to control the game with your moves instead of the game controlling you.
Because no one has developed one specifically for the Kinect 2.0 yet. They have already demoed the Kinects ability to track full body movement. Check the link and watch the demo video. Below the video is a list of the specs comparing the difference between the original Kinect and Kinect 2.0 that you get with the Xbox One.
They are apples and oranges. Kinect 2.0 can capture at 30fps in 1080p in any light conditions now and the latency is down to 20ms compared to the 102ms latency of the original Kinect.
@KingDadXVI the Kinect camera is only 512 x 424 the RGB camera is 1080P but that's not for motion tracking. & 30FPS is one of the reasons why you don't see any dancing games being controlled by Kinect because 30FPS is too slow for tracking fast movements then filtering & smoothing the controls to use to control a avatar.
becuase a camera cant keep up with movements and register them as technical commands without serious lag. dont listen to king. his fanboysim keep him from being intellgent
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't Kinect dancing games just snapping shots of you lined up to a single frame? You really don't need to dance just be in the right position at the right time.
@kingdadxvl Yet it's not accurate when implemented on games. Kinect is just broken promises and only is worth it to navigate UI with gestures and voice. Game wise it fails.
so let me get this right kinect is the end all be all for motion control. wth are you talking about? If what you are saying is true king dad then they should have never made a ps4 because in america nintendo dominated that market???
yeah! kinetic 2 is the perfection of motion capture! nothing will ever be better than kinectic 2! look at Fighter Within on the Xbox one! it's almost as if i'm inside the game! it's the limit of evolution in mottion control!!! Sony will never make something better than kinect 2!!! Fighter Within is the definitive prove of this!!! the first game that make you almost be inside the game! all my movements are perfect, and kinect capture than 1:1, no! more than this! kinectic can fu!@#!@ see the future! it can even antecipate my future moves!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's pretty much the same as saying Knack is as good as gaming gets on the PS4. The technology is still in it's infancy. It will take time for developers to use Kinect to it's fullest. At the very least it has a 100% attach rate which gives developers incentive to actually use it. The same can't be said for any other accessories since they will never have a 100% attach rate.
Can someone please explain why people still oomplain about this? Why wouldn't gamers want to see how gaming can evolve with additional controls?
@death. ya statment is true death, 100% kinect in X-1 is good but... are developers realy going to use it? you know, 100% of X-1 base isn't 100% of the market, i dare say that 100% X-1 isn't goint to be even near 40-50% of the market (maybe 25%), because WiiU/Pc/Ps4 have no kinect... Kinect isn't a smart move core gamers, at least not now... casuals may like the thing, but hey, they already can do kinect things in a cheaper machine called Xbox 360...
Like how M$ is supporting X360 with lots of exclusive games from this year to the next? Oh, wait. It's PS3 that has lots of exclusive games this year and the next. Sorry for the mix up.
I doubt Sony would ever go through with this. Attaching anything to your hands and feet would be a step back. These companies file crazy patents all the time and most never see the light of day.
If you think of how motion capture works, it isnt that crazy.
If they made it where the whole body was truly a 1:1 setup then imagine the finer details that could be put into games that you almost feel compelled to move in by natural instinct.
the pseye and original kinect could have been capable for mo-cap with the right overlays. Being that the camera has something to really focus on and that gets translated into the digital counterpart.
But now the PS4eye and kinect 2 are even more capable in their own right and coupled with even better processing hardware should make for more realistic and interactive experience.
