By the looks of the complexity of that its gonna be along time b4 thats gonna be out.

Any prototypes even been made yet?

Does look awesome tho

I hope it doesnt mean id have to buy another 360

well it shouldnt be too long because it plugs into your 360 i think... so i should imagine it wont be long, maybe even christmas cos in a couple more years the next generation consoles will be released again...

nah can't be done, i reckon its an old april fool joke, you gotta have some sort of sensor on you to make that work.

I don't have enough space in my lounge for all this.

Practically hitting the tv when wii bowling, or we have to move the out of the way.

It's getting too much.

I'd rather be outside teaching my chicken how to fly.

im no IT expert but as baz says, how can it work with no sensors?

It uses depth cameras which essentially use radar to measure distance etc. very accurate.

Playstation have something, I think looks a lot better

These things do seem a bit pointless... until you add alcohol! Guitar Hero was wicked at uni. Good way to warm up the evening.

depth of field and silhouette recognition software is very advanced, ANPR uses a basic application of the same system to capture number plates. it searches a digital image for a shape it recognizes and can then track and process the information. with a dedicated processing unit for recognizing and processing the human silhouette it's not going to be long till you see it availiable i reckon. my laptop webcam already has the ability to track faces on it so you would always stay zoomed in and within frame within the lens angles limits. no radar needed just two camera's and some clever softwares. The xbox will do all the graphics rendering with this new box capturing and processing the visual input.

I was about to say the exact same thing xyphral
