Microsoft Shows X360 Camera Gesture, FaceMap Tech
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?"
I remember reading an article a while back that MS had a prototype Wiimote in 2000 or 2001 for PC. I don't think it was ever made for public use.
That being said, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, and they're totally copying...
I think your hair would be amusing to see!
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel...
Over a year ago, Game and Tycho already predicted the outcome of an xbox camera.
If this signature is witty enough, maybe somebody will like me.
You really shouldn't link to pictures of yourself on Slashdot... The pending marriage offers will probably chase you off the site, now.

It doesn't do hair. Only faces. You add the hair from a preset list of models, or create it like you do with other games like Tiger Woods.
Hmm... if she could be turned... she could become a powerful asset...
