Immersively Kick Ass Kung-Fu

Ant writes "Kick @ss Kung-Fu is an immersive game installation that transforms computer gaming into a visual, physical performance like dance or sports. You can fight and defy gravity like kung-fu movie actors -- only there's no wires or post-production needed, thanks to the real-time embodied interaction and virtual set technology. Formula: You + Camera + Software + Screens = Embodied Gameplay."

Attack of the Show/G4TV

[Seumas]

This was already on G4TV (Attack of the Show).

Way to stay on top Slashdot. Half of the stories in the last few months have been duplicates of lame stories (which often are just small blurbs about products or gadgets and not stories) long since aired on G4TV or posted on Fark, Drudgereport or Engadget and Gizmodo.

I hate to be another Slashdot-whiner, but good god. I kind of feel like my Subscription is a rip-off when most of what I'm reading I already got for free on other sites - days or weeks earlier.

Seumas: So? I don't get cable and satellite TV so I wouldn't know. Even Blue's News mentioned this site yesterday. It may be old to you, but it's new to some people like me.

And for the rest of us...

... who are not martial arts experts, cannot set up a special room and shell out mucho dinero for the equipment but still want some immersive fun, there's Eye Toy.

Finally!

Badly drawn flash games just aren't enough for me. I need immersive badly drawn flash games. Preferably with shaky animation and grating sound effects. This is my dream come true.

Re:Two cameras = 3D model

Maybe the Xbox 360 or PS3 could create a realtime 3D model on the fly?

Well who knows, but it's a sure bet that they'll claim they can...
