The main question is how could this be used for porn? It’s the main reason for scientific innovation
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Looks like it will be a pain in the ass to use. I don't know how it would be superior to a mouse and keyboard, DS lite or Galaxy S4 design.

People bought the fucking kinect and it sucks big time, wonder if this will be as precise as that piece of garbage.
Obsidianpick9999
The Kinect was an amazing price for the hardware it provided though, you can still find it being used for computer vision projects
CandidGamera
Sure, problem is though, people care less about what hardware they're getting with a gaming system, they care about the gaming experience.

They are easier to use than touchscreens. Not as versatile, but definitely easier and more precise
FoeOfFauxPho
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck this. I still prefer buttons over touchscreens.
CandidGamera
This. And the fact that simulated haptic feedback for touch controls (usually a short vibrate) has become de facto standard shows how much->
TwistedAttitudes
I always turn key vibration off because I don't like it and it adds to battery drain. Just my preference though.

obarey
Can recognise a few gestures, so you can trigger actions, but I don't think they can be as smooth. Also lab =/= real environment.
flarflarf
these arent new. They look great in demos but in the real world they're not reliable enough to be anything but really exasperating.
wooferDog
They look like shit in the demos, who the fuck has the time to do gestures instead of a normal tap/swipe/pinch or w/e more reliable move?
flarflarf
sure but its even worse than that: the gesture recognition is unreliable so you usually have to try the gesture a few times before it works.

So does that mean it'll zoom in on the guys dick when I start masturbating?? If so then count me out.

Sheldonian
Yes, it would be huge improvement for the UI
theliquidsteak
Microsoft spent close to 1B$ on the kinect, the most advanced consumer grade mocap device on market. HUGE FLOP gesture control is a novelty
rooik14
The problem wasn't the technology it was the incorporation. The Wii, a much simpler tech, got lots of game sales because they took 1/2
Zyrin
Most games didn't also take advantage of the kinect as well the games that did you mostly got voice commands and that was it.
rooik14
2/2 advantage of the tech for their games.
shhep
It isn't flop technologically speaking. Just as first thinkpads weren't flops. They were milestones.
flikrdoodles
Kinect made 2.6b revenue according to Forbes, and the tech ended up shifting to enterprise/professional use as it was a great 3d scanner.
flikrdoodles
Plus they incorporated the tech into mixed reality and hololens, which have each been meeting expectations so far.

Yeah, but kinect was finicky and bulky. If this all can be done with a little chip that's precise? That'd likely work out far better.

I'd prefer smart glasses, like Intel is trying to make currently. Then I don't even have to wear a watch or look at it

I'd like smart glasses and a watch with this tech for input (the watch can be otherwise normal).

A lot of sci-fi is of the "warning" type. I've described Black Mirror as "twisted Twilight Zone".

There were only like 4 episodes between s1/2/3 that I liked. Makes me not want to give the newest season a chance

Alarmism is handy, sometimes. Books like Neuromancer and Snow Crash inspired a lot of the proponents of privacy and computer security today.

If it ends up being cheap, then it'll probably win out. Especially if it's made standard in smartphones.
solisart
If it's widely available in the modern phones, phone games will probably jump on it, which will increase usage and popularity real fast.
CandidGamera
That didn't work for touch controls as gaming input. Despite being the standard for smartphone input, they're wildly unpopular for gaming ->
CandidGamera
<- beyond basic match-3 and builder games.

They're also clunky and hard to use. And this is more motion control, like the Wii.
