360 gesture recognition

Post by Arthur_Tuxedo »

Looks like MS has come up with a way to implement full gesture recognition without a controller, using two EyeToy style cameras.

Link.

Certainly looks cool, although with no controller to go along with it, a gamer will be hard pressed to actually play a game using it. Much better than Sony's craptacular attempt, but still not as good as the Wii controller could potentially be.
