steve_ancell	At least when this gets released, you won't need to go arse-about-face trying to get Microsoft's Kinect to work on the PC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12144231

Jayenkai	No. Because, having seen MS's efforts on the Xbox side of things, I'd much rather have a bunch of unqualified unpaid geeks attempting the amazing, than have MS turn Kinect into nothing more than a giant arm-waving DPad. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	I thought you needed 7 feet for the Kinect to work? Does anyone sit further then 7 feet from their monitors???

Jayenkai	7foot rule is for whole body pickup. If you're using it for hand, or more interestingly, eye tracking, you won't need the distance. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	For eye tracking this could be pretty cool. Not only for games, but also for apps. Like the software I'm looking at could auto-focus, which is especially for us dual screen users. It's annoying having to alt+tab when I can see the app fully open and it's fullscreen!

Accidental Rebel	Aside from the practical applications in productivity, I am also excited on the games that will be developed by indies once it is open to them.

9572AD	I'll get excited once there's some mature apps and the Kinect starts selling for closer to its $40 actual worth than its insane $150 MSRP. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

Jayenkai	Considering how much they're still charging for X360 HardDrives, I really don't expect that to happen any time soon. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
