it all comes down to the games.
i'll jump on it the second some cool games come out for it, but the video looked really faggy and weak
i hope developers see the potential and use it in cool ways

I think this is great - it's innovative, in the same way that that the wii controler was... BUT - I unless the developer toolkits are really fcking great, I bet a lot of the titles actually produced for it will be a nightmare.

Just for the record, I'm not an "ignorant naysayer". I know this is being given closed-door demonstrations and that the technology probably does work, and well, but the demo video was a very poor way to show this. They managed to make their whole demonstration FEEL fake. Poor female actress, annoying character to interact with.
And really, it's not THAT ground-breaking. Until they develop this technology for use in real-world situations (the kind of situations where the majority of people on QBN would get excited) then it's just a crappy actress showing orange pen marks to a digital brat through a souped-up PS Eye.

what can designers do with this? I can't think of any serious examples.
Explore a commercial? Do that shopping shit? Try out different hairstyles? Go shopping in a mall? Go to a museum? Use Google Street View in it?
It might be a nice interface improvement, but it's still a small improvement after the Wii.
- i don't know, design a game??vespa
- you have some lovely work man, it's people like you should be teaming up with developers and making cool stuff with this technologyvespa

It's Bullshit nothing more nothing less.

i don't understand everyone's attitudes in here, why do only developers get to see the potential? we are designers, we should be jumping on this stuff and doing interesting things!
designers aren't mere consumers, we think up the cool stuff!

untill this works like they are showing it.... let's say 2016 orso

it's at least squeezed to fool the audience: he doesn't look at her. he is talking towards the left side of the camera to create the illusion of facing the woman just for this video - so it has been put together. on the other hand, changing just the view-direction should not be a problem, so it still can work for realz.

Hilarious how different 99% of the responses here would be were it made by Apple.

It's not a glorified EyeToy, this thing translates your body shape to an actual 3D model with bones and joints, but as I said before, not all games are going to be fun using this, but some will and new innovative ways of gaming around this idea.

looks amazing. what i don't get is how you would switch gears or accelerate in racing games? it would detect your foot action? i would try it for the soccer. :P

Looks very interesting.

Some great vids out there of random people using this at E3. Looks killer.

there arent even text-based bots which can lead a conversation like that, not to mention bots with speech recognition

So where are these supposed videos of 'normal' people interacting with Milo? All I can find is the staged demo.
