How Project Natal Sees the Player

[HardOCP News]

Project Natal was demoed by Microsoft's R&D department at the Think Next convention earlier this week. Apparently this is how the camera sees you while you play games.

wonder if there is a hidden T&A mode, or "Hot Coffee" if you will that would allow one to see through others clothes after they use your device and retain said recording for future publication?

just a thought

At least it doesn't make you look as fat as Wii Fit does.

I wonder just how much recognition it will have...

Will it look at the Gigabyte girl from the above thread and good "Whew! Hot damn!"

Nothing like seeing your new hardware overheat...

Quite, I call that the Michael Strahan feature

(Strahan was accused by his ex-wife during his divorce of secretly video taping his female in-laws/wife's friends in various states of undress while they were visiting)

It would have been nice to see how it handled much faster movements. All the movements shown were relatively slow. I want to see how it handles a flurry of punches or something.

Next she's going to loop the loop, she's going to tie herself into a pretzel...oh you lose I didn't say next!

That's what it sounded like to me halfway through anyway, she has a name, use it, I don't think the audience would mind a fake one if your worried about that.

Maybe it's just me, but the video looks like it's tracking her ovaries.

i noticed that too. strange.

freaking triumph of tech and programming. not sure whether I want to play a game by jumping around all the time (yahtzee has a great point there) but it sure is amazing.

If you want this, you have to become a TSA agent. They get to look at naked people all day long with the backscatter xray machines now in airports. Dont worry, they're protecting us from evil boogeymen!!

Oh my. [ackbar]IT'S A TRAP[/ackbar]



On another note, will Natal work for fat people? I mean, morbidly obese fat people?

That would be horrible, I can't imagine the things you would see that could not be unseen

 

[flegg]

is it obvious how impractical this is for anything but children's games yet?

I thought the Wii already stole that market

 

[Destonomos]

well I could see it being fun, being able to sit on a couch and play yahtzee by shaking your hand and opening it to simulate throwing the dice. Pretty neat idea on microsofts side.

Right... I'm sure Natal would see it that way too.

Any chance of this being implemented on a mobile? Being able to control what's on your laptops screen without needing to use a mouse would be a big plus.
