now kinect is the most recent advances on xbox 360 and it has gained a lot of popularity for the fun you can have as a group, personally i think kinect is for more child related audiences such as family but also a large group of teens or adults since it is just a innocent form of enjoyment.
As a piece of technology the kinect has a range of possiblities such as below:
The way they showed using the camera to generate a puppet that moves with your hand and makes sounds with your movement, the puppet is really impressive but i want to see what else you can create using this type of projection and modelling for example a full body model and projection of a bird or a creature that can be projected on a wall.
This is more my thing i love the idea of creating a weird creature and motion capturing him without using the multiple cameras or renting out a large space to do the filming i would like to look more into the technology of this and also the program they use since it seems an easy to use program.
It's amazing when you look at the difference between the raw data and the animation model it's hard to believe he can get such great facial captures from such rough raw data. The ability to capture faces using the camera makes the amount that it will cost to do it decrease so more games or animations could have better facial acting which is an exciting as a designer.
The abilities of the camera are really a lot more than what they originally designed it for i think but the only ones who know that are microsoft so i am not sure. This one piece of tech as made it possible to do a lot more as designers and i look forward to see what someone does with it in the coming year.
