xQc Reacts to Kinect : The dark age of Xbox | Crowbcat

[@njebs.]

The technology for kinect is actually really cool, just not for whatever microsoft wanted you to use it for. You can hook up a kinect to your pc and you've got a budget mo-cap solution. Really useful for indie game development.

[@undies891]

it was used for full body tracking in VRchat in the early years of VR

[@rufus.a8968]

bro I was at the airport and the Jetstar Luggage conveyor belt was just straight up using Xbox One Kinect Sensors

[@moxbroker]

It’s useful for a number of CV applications, it just wasn’t anything useful for gaming control.

[@Stallzyx]

my xb1's kinect tandomly stopped turning on within 2 years of having it I swear

[@charlesm.2604]

Yes but it makes no sense to use your body as a controller. There are insane limitations, it's not practical and it's not intuitive. Think about it, try to aim and shoot with mouse (mouse move and left click), now imagine the same process with your body. No controller, not even VR ones or Wii remotes, just body. You can't. I get why use it in robotics, in computer programming or even as a Smart TV remote but why on earth would you use your body as a controller ?

The Wii came out years before. Obviously the tech is different (VR computer vision vs. RC laser) but it's practically the same thing from the perspective of a consumer.

[@tylerblair318]

Honestly for $100 the Kinect was pretty cool. I still have mine for my 360 and there's a game called Kinect Sports that's basically like a pretty evolved version of Wii Sports. They even made a second one that was pretty good as well. I remember getting drunk as fuck in college and playing that game because there was no controller involved so it got super competitive and was an easy way to get girls involved that wasn't just Mario Kart.

[@ryatt9365]

Kinect Sports and Adventure were fire.

[@marekfaron5860]

The kinect was soooo fun, I have so many memories playing with my family - the best games were Star Wars and Pixar-movies games, also the sport games were super fun. I know it didn't work always as it should but I didn't care cause I was a kid and if it worked from time to time than that was all I wanted

i still have xbox 360 and now i can easily play games because now the cost of 20 xbox games is 1 AAA prize of today's game. Kinect was good with family gatherings, i remember all family playing at christmas with me, long hours of great fun. XBOX 360 USERS GIGACHAD

[@BjornCopperside]

I've used Kinect as a developer, the Kinect are actually crazy good and accurate. The use for most games like shown here just ain't it. They said at the beginning "the controller is a barrier", that was a good line, but then they continued to show people that can actually use controllers as well. The technology is actually good for disabled people that can't use the controller at all. Or using the hand-gestures for other use cases other then games. (I used it for a rehabilitation software, there was one a 1 sec clip of this in this whole presentation).

Kinect was actually impressive. The tech would've made much improvement today. However, the company (PrimeSense) that made the tech was bought by Apple and its currently being used for facial biometrics, Face ID. Kinect is still around though, but not for Xbox gaming anymore, but for enterprise and business purposes with cloud integration, called Azure Kinect.

[@JanoyCresva]

The ONLY think i liked about the Kinect was the voice feature. We had sat tv back then and it was so nice to just sit there and go "Xbox go to TV. Xbox play halo 2. Xbox volume up." etc. Its way better than "HeY AlExA" or "HeY SiRi" then having to wait a couple seconds and MAYBE they hear you. The xbox kinect voice was almost instant. Running out of the house just saying "Xbox turn off". My wife was even using the voice controls and shes super stubborn with tech. THEN these asshats switched the voice commands to "HEY FUCKING CORTANA!" Literally NOBODY wants to say HEY CORTANA! Like wtf even is that!? So yeah, i have fond memories of the kinect. Not playing it, but as an entertainment machine, it worked great for the time.
