The Kinect glasses had better come with a strap, or else they'll be falling off my face every 5 seconds. I hope they can get the pattern-recognition software working well instead.

you don't need glasses for Kinect. They would be for 3DTVs that don't support autostereoscopy.

But as this is important for many games (racing FPS and flight sims) to see around some object in the middle distance without moving your car, player or plane. We can expect more devs to chirp about the device not being useful for their projects.

The story so far (which hasn't changed since Kinect specs were leaked), is that without USB3.0 and a dedicated processor the device is underpowered. Perhaps Kinect 2 once the dust settles and the device has proven itself even in this 1.0 version with limited features. Meaning as usual if you're an early adopter and expected AAA game support with the 1.0 version of Kinect, you'll get shafted because they already have a second more powerful version on the way.

I don't think MS would chance releasing a Kinect 2.0 until the next Xbox. I think you are underestimating the backlash that would cause, especially with all of the marketing behind it.

There is no 1.0 or 2.0 when it comes to gaming peripherals, unless it is across different generations.

You make a good point, but I don't think M$ gives a shit about backlash. They'll just drown it out with more advertising spending.

Cases in point:

-Aborting the Xbox to push the 360.
-RRoD
-"You are the controller" BS when we all know they're going to make hybrid games.

Hasn't stopped people from falling for the ad machine.

""You are the controller" BS when we all know they're going to make hybrid games."

Did you really just post that? It's called a slogan. That's like saying Sony is bull shitting when they say "PS3....it only does everything" when we all know it doesn't do everything.

I think this would be pretty awesome and it would be cheap, wonder why Sony/Microsoft hasn't gone into this? You are still wearing glasses but without the strain of current 3D displays, After about 20min at best buy my eyes hurt.

I could not imagine playing as long as I do with 3D, it's enough strain as it 3D would at least double the strain on my eyes.

I was excited about 3D till I visited my local Best Buy and checked it out, and I think I will pass on this current gen for 3D.

Kinect/pseye don't need glass for this effect! Both can do this kind of headtracking.

jneul5654d ago (Edited 5654d ago )

fail, move already has augmented reality in start the part and head tracking in gt5 and in the fight and they needed a camera facepalm!!
the only thing is its not in 3d like he showed, it wont take sony long to make a better version

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga579d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken579d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77580d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2580d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech
