Okay... now by NO means do I know how they are doing the full body recognition, but I have a pretty good idea...
They claim to use "state of the art" face recognition to detect your face and tell when your in front of the camera and sign you in to your Xbox.
It's not really that new technology at all but whatever doesn't matter really.
So once they got your face in the camera's sights they obviously know where your head is on screen.
Then the camera picks up on your neck and body down and limbs based on... well where they're supposed to be lol.
Basically all I know is they use face recognition.
They also will be using voice recognition... when I saw that all I could think of was that voice recognition from Windows Vista lol.
So far the uses of this don't seem like they can be "hardcore" gaming related besides maybe a boxing game or something?
The paint thing looks pretty cool, but what ever happened to the 360 fans saying how hardcore it was lol.
Now you got avatars and painting... BUT THIS ISN'T FOR PICKING ON THE 360... so let's get off that topic.
Here is my favorite part of the demo is this picture...
"Ever wanted to see what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like?"
*lifts up leg*
Uhh... yeah...
They have some bugs obviously I just thought that was funny lol.
I don't think it's going to get very far.
Sony is using tracking on controllers that can track the controller using the PlayStation Eye in 3D space sorta like what Natal does, but not your entire body.
They showed a demo of what you can do with it, and I found it much more exciting than Natal...
