Games console and phone maker Microsoft has hinted that it will bring its Xbox Kinect camera technology to its Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system following its acquisition of Nokia.
During a conference call on Tuesday, Microsoft operating systems group VP Terry Myerson hinted that the firm will work with Nokia to integrated Kinect camera technology into future Windows Phone devices.
Speaking about the Nokia buyout, Myerson said, "In the area of imaging, the Nokia Lumia 1020 has no equal. We are excited to bring this together with our Kinect camera technology to delight our customers."
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Why? I get waving at your phone to turn it on if your driving a car so you can input text in by speaking, which can be done on nearly all android devices, but apart from that what is the point of kinect technology in a phone. It seems like a massive cost and almost pointless for a phone. Unless what they mean by "Kinect camera technology" they mean software things like face unlock and all that normal jazz I never touch on my phone
What would this do?
So do you prop you phone up on the coffee table and use the front facing camera to play a motion game?
Because Microsoft, if this is it then you have lost the plot.
they want to share pictures of your back pocket with the nsa :)
Seems like a ok idea, although MS need to seriously work on there mobile OS, it is a god awful system to use. Unfortunately I am stuck with my 920 for another 18 months.
