I just picked one up for $110 w/extra game.

Perfect timing too, since an open source framework came out today that has a plugin-type thing for kinect support. :D

A framework even? Not just talking about the open source drivers?

Microsoft copies EyeToy Camera from Sony...
Sony copies Wii controls from Nitendo...

SO! What will Nitendo Copy from Microsoft now?

We should wait 'till someone makes it possible to play a game only by your mind, that would be epic win and PS would be really fun etc.

You can play Pong with your mind already.

Comparing Kinect with EyeToy is like comparing a stereo camera to a regular camera

PlayStation Move is far superior to Wii.

But not something like SC:CT...

That's already possible. It's called Lucid dreaming.

I assume you mean OpenNI? (http://www.openni.org/)

Just read that it's a driver from the company behind the Kinect device (PrimeSense). How awesome is that.

Aj · December 24, 2010, 04:25:26 AM

Yeah, openni, my bad.

I'm pretty sure there's an SDK/framework associated with it.

I can't get my Kinect to detect on my PC though beyond the motor.

EDIT: got it working, but the OpenNI drivers don't include audio yet. :(

Still seriously cool though!

MulleDK19 · December 25, 2010, 01:08:19 PM

I didn't get it. But I'll wish that for my birthday :P

Instead, I got 4 terabytes of extra disk space, so I'll be moving data, and installing stuff all day.

I just bought it for 154.158217 Euros.

I thought Kinekt was gonna be used with GTA 5 and make people beat hookers with the controller/ invisible bat... and stuff like that.

After seeing the Actual uses, seems like a good technology.

After seeing your GTA potential uses... it seems like a great technology.

I'm not getting kinect until they come out with some good games for it. Child of Eden looks cool but I'd rather see kinect used as a controller enhancer. As in, games that use a controller for the main input but kinect for something like head-tracking or being able to issue commands to your squad with your hand.
