Cat & Mouse: Animating the animal kingdom and the Magic Kingdom

On the first day we had members of Frontier Developments to talk about creating a game that was mainly kinect based, the two games they spoke of was Kinectimals & Disneyland Adventures which thought they are both are child friendly games they are impressive to see when you look at all the intereaction that is present to the person who is playing the game.

Kinectimals was a game that was released when the kinect came out and it bought a new way of playing games to the xbox and it's fans with a fully interactive puzzle game with cats and bears as your avatar.
The feeling this way of playing gives you i think is pleasant but not for someone like me who is a serious gamer but as we advance in technology the closer it feels that we are getting to a way of immersing yourself in a rpg.

Disney Adventures though it is childish it has shown that this can be used for more than games since it is in scale to the actual park. The way they created could be used to rebuild the Colosseum or the Titanic so people who might not be able to see it with their imagination can witness it as it might of been. which would be good in museums, on site or even at home. Now i don't know about you but i would love to walk across the deck of the titanic using the kinect or even go to stone henge and see it in away that makes you believe you can touch it.

The actual games don't interest me overall but it is what the games suggest and show which really got my attention with the presentation, I look forward to seeing what more can be done with the tech over the next couple of years.
