GestureTek on XBOX 360
In the news: the XBOX 360 will be sold including gesture recognition, made by GestureTek. Here some response by geeks & gamers. It appears to be following Sony Playstation Eye-Toy developments, perhaps going a step further?
Even my dad played Eye-Toy
GestureTek is probably the most succesful commercial player in gesture recognition. They are also going to develop interactive learning/gaming environments for kids together with Hasbro. Now, why don’t they get into touch with some sign language people? It would be great to get such a player interested in sign language recognition. Or is their tek too rough to handle such delicate gestures? Can they only catch the big motions?
There is this curious bit of news and a video on Gizmodo about 2 camera’s being used? GestPoint is a specific bit of GestureTek that is used, for example in the Boijmans van Beuningen, where it appears to be part of the ‘Digital Depot‘.

XBox: I think Microsoft is scared shit because of the coming Nintendo. They have seen it on E3 and what it can do, now they’re just trying to control damage.
