Microsoft Shows X360 Camera Gesture, FaceMap Tech

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-with-faces dept.

simoniker writes "At Microsoft's GameFest earlier this week, Gamasutra got up close and personal with the Xbox 360 Live Vision camera, including more information about packed-in game TotemBall, as well as the Xbox 360 facemapping tech from Digimask, and most interestingly, the gesture-based Xbox 360 software from GestureTek. This includes face and motion-tracking, as well as "a solution for tracking individual, non-facial objects on-screen, such as handheld peripherals". Could Wii-like control schemes work on Xbox 360 using this tech?"

    You really shouldn't link to pictures of yourself on Slashdot... The pending marriage offers will probably chase you off the site, now.
