Kinect is Microsoft’s big gamble with the Xbox 360. The company has put major stock behind the tech. However, despite claims of accurate body tracking, the tech still suffers from recognition issues.
Kinect is actually a very cool concept and a vision of the future. However, the challenge I see with the tech is getting it to perform reliably today. It seems like just about every time it was publically presented something goes haywire.
We have seen Kinect act oddly with different lighting, failing to even register the person properly. Other times we have seen the tech pick up certain individuals while the person standing next to them seems to be ignored.
Kinect seems to also have a difficult time tracking foreign objects when brought close to the body like a piece of paper. This contrasts to the trailer shown at E3 last year of the boy scanning in a skate board into the Kinect.
tell me somthing i dont know
Ha ha !
well i'm thinking because they removed the internal processor the problems are starting to show and software kind of way isn't gonna work out, Thanks Microsoft for being greedy b*stards.
I still love my xbox360 but Microsoft should abandon Kinect.
When is the release date? It`s not good if there STILL expierencing problems like....doing what it`s was made to do.
When I tried it at covent garden it worked perfectly fine. Obviously if you use it in a way its not meant to be used why would it work properly.
Geez the damage control just keeps on coming. People act like its releasing tomorrow. And whats even more silly is the only people bothered by this are the people who had no intention of buying Kinect in the first place.
