The Awesome Kinect

i'm taking a timeout just to express some excitement that I had
yesterday (17 November Singapore) - i got KINECTed (if thats a term. :D)).

there is a large crowd lining up to purchase the Kinect controller and the xbox 360 S package with kinect controller. got the controller for my old Xbox 360 from the pre-launch held
at Plaza Singapura.

the included game Kinect Adventures is pretty good.
my son, athrun karl, is still learning to use it though.
we've tried kinect joy ride two player mode - very nice (no pics/vids to post here
though).

I'm so awed by this gadget. And I believe the Kinect controller is a major breakthrough and the very one piece of technology that will re-shape how we interact with machines.
I won't be surprised if Kinect usage becomes widespread outside the gaming world.
could be very useful to help people with disability and also with robotics.

maybe Sony (PS3) and Nintendo (Wii) should try to intergrate Kinect with their gaming consoles. frankly speaking - i've lost interest with Wii when i used the Kinect yesterday. good thing i never bought a wii. :)
