Oh man. Ordering one ASAP. So much cool stuff could be done with this. Going to try to create a gestures thing so I can browse my email from bed.

  Could this all have been genius marketing by Microsoft?

    I'm imagining a sweaty Ballmer holding an impromptu press conference tomorrow announcing a Kinect SDK screaming Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

    Perhaps. Although there is speculation that the Kinect is a loss-leader, so that wouldn't be the smartest move.
    • markbao 16y ago
      I'm worried that this will lead to bad consequences by Microsoft to prevent the misappropriation of Kinect devices, which is very, very bad. Hopefully we'll see a teardown and a BOM sometime soon...

    I think it's probably an executive with enough power to say things but without enough knowledge to know what he's saying. That's fairly normal for large companies.

      I thought it was mandatory for large companies. If lower-upper management actually had new ideas they might usurp someone elses power and then where would the top execs be? And where would the company be then!? (besides rapidly bankrupting itself through moron ideas)

  Gestures to browse ...ummmmm... email from bed???

    I can imagine the other kind of hand-waving might confuse Kinect.

    Don't hate, email is a big problem of mine. :p

  I agree. How precise is the measurement of depth perception?
