not buying into this - the painting thing looks shit and I don't want to jump around playing breakout-2009. Maybe in years to come this will become better but right now - no interest at all..

Splashing paint is a terribly ineffective way of demonstrating this technology. Nintendo's Wii unveiling video did a great job of showing us the possibilities of the Wiimote (unfortunately, most of them were never realized).

The Youtube video shows the tech with some additional game concepts attached to it.

Probably just comps, but the usages demonstrated are more realistic I think.

The camera looks like it uses two infrared cameras to pick out the motion. If it does use Infrared it'll have trouble in sunlight just like the wiimote. The big problem I could see is detecting motion when it's out of line of site, when you stand sideways for example or spin in a 360 degree motion.

i assume that this is a prototype kind of game to test the market and the new components. If not this will be one of the lamest games (if you call it that) ever made. And what was that woman wearing when she came in behind the other girl to make the elephant. whats the esrb rating again?

If this catch on we'll have a generation of mimes and modern dancers coming up.

Is this good or bad?
