And why use a RNG, when you can just return 3? http://xkcd.com/221/ The reason to use accessors is encapsulation. If the public field is private to your package/application then by all means access it directly, b

Down for me :( I believe its circa 7 billion, if we only count those humans present on or around our own planet.

Takes about 5 minutes to train the model using some simple expressions. Deals with detailed facial expressions, eyelid movement and iris tracking (the eye stuff is 'OK' - this is where the newer high resolution kinect should help,

Faceshift.com is what I have played with most. It's amazingly accurate with even the current kinect, but starts at $800 for the indie version. Brekel.com have a less expensive version, but I have no experience with it. Open source alte

I thought a quarter was pretty small (in UK here, so not sure of the comparison). In my opinion, this company is bringing what is currently a multi-thousand dollar setup down to consumer price levels. If they don't get the response the

Hmm, the original title was "Kickstarter for Full Body VR Suit". Surely this one, "PrioVR : Get your ideas moving" is a lot less descriptive?

Yes, there are a number of us in the oculus forums working on various solutions with (the current) kinect for positional data. For me, oculus aside, facial capture is probably the most exciting thing the new kinect can offer (due to increas

I agree that the kinect is more convenient for casual gaming. That said, I have yet to see a convincing demo of the new Kinect, so far only having seen increased resolution on the depth visualisation. By the very nature of the technology it

Its important to note that only the sensors are wired. They connect into a hub on the chest (which transmits wirelessly), so you aren't tethered to anything. The wireless sensor version (which they sell as a professional mocap device)

I've sent YEI a message to inform them about this thread, so hopefully we will have some official response.

I would expect the game itself to modify its virtual world to account for my physical boundaries.

Overlooking the optical limitations of the kinect, think of the potential uses for equipment like this. Accurate motion capture anywhere (think of what we already achieve with GPS and limited device gyroscopic data alone), full body augment

That and (realistic) jumping seem to be the main limitations of the omni at this stage. I wonder if the omni harness was more like a baby bouncer than a fixed support if this would solve those issues: http://static.toysrus.co.uk&

Kinect: is basically an optical sensor so it requires line of sight. It utilizes computer vision and a 3d depth map (generated by using an IR projector and receiver) to make an educated guess as to your bodies orientation. Line of sight (n

I really hope this gets funded. As popular as the Sixense Stem kickstarter is (exceeded its target within hours), its severely limited by the max number of sensors (5) in its working radius for full body immersion (joint positioning in part

You could walk around the perimeter of the wall to 'calibrate' your safe environment, although thats dependent on the sensor drift (they say its very accurate). I'm assuming with the combination of all the (multiple) inertial

I'm so excited with all these recent advancements in consumer VR!

Although not mentioned in the advisory, this particular model also allows you to play sounds through the toilets internal speaker. Any exploit should surely consist of the lid flapping open and closed while the toilet whispers to you, becko

Hi Ken, it looks great! Unfortunately, for unrecognised card types it makes it impossible to proceed. I have just tried a maestro card number (beginning 6759) and am unable to enter any of the additional details (expiry, etc). It may be wor

I'd like to expand on this idea, by suggesting that in the case of sites being 'whitelisted' in the site-manifest, that they should only have access to an alternate cookie type, such that they are only accessible via that dom

> It's too late to do that. There's lots of websites relying on 3rd party CDNs for non-tracking purposes (CloudFront, Google-hosted jQuery, etc.) Undoubtedly - hence the site-defined manifests for third parties.

"Do not track" in its present (non-)state is a farce. It should be implemented at the browser level. My ideas on DNT: If a user specifies "do not track" in their browser-global or site-specific settings then ALL requests
