Have we forgotten about Kinect so soon?

  Kinect okay, but looks like MS sort of just gave up on it. And now smartphones have it beat in terms of capabilities. So it could've become smaller, faster and more capable, but the window of opportunity passed.

    They pushed it pretty hard, but people hated it. They tried for several years before scrapping it though. To my chagrin. I was excited about it. I haven't seen any phone stuff that's similar to the capabilities of kinect. VR is the closest thing in the current crop that I can see.

      Phones can detec motion, objects, faces and quite easily and surrisingly reliable considering how small their cameras are. Kinect could probably be great, but alas.

        If you put your phone far enough away to capture your movements, I don't think you'd be able to play a game like fruit ninja. It's a different form factor.
