Full Body Dance Dance Revolution

tasty_beanburger writes "NewScientistTech has a story about a full body version of Dance Dance Revolution. It uses vision recognition to award points after assessing a player's ability to correctly mimic silhouetted dance shapes. Check out the video clip of it being demoed at SIGGRAPH 2006."

    So now the whole world can see how this white man can't boogie.

    Perhaps this can help my sex life? I'll just slip in a porn DVD grab the wife and then get points for following the action on screen.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Well. With DDR my family looked like a bunch of kids with Tourette's Syndrome. Now they'll appear violently epileptic.

    I can only hope they're unaware when this is released.

    The technical angle on this software is what redeemed CmdrTaco from the "oh-this-will-only-make-me-look-more-dumb dept." Pretty interesting stuff, especially since it seems this stuff matures more rapidly once it goes into a game. (i.e. Flight Sims).

    It doesn't matter which way you turn -- a sphere's a sphere.
