During the early-mid 90's, there were games that on the surface looked similar (but more primitive) in the arcade, where you would stand in front of a camera, and it would read your position in the room, and let you interact with the games. Did these use a similar basic system? (They did of course not calculate your skeletal structure, simply your position relative to the camera(s?)).

CONT: and can use that for things that are unintended by the user like sending marketing blurgs, ads on your computer/ip address, or some robber hard pressed on revenge/murder or stealing stuff. Thats why even if I own an X360, I will never buy or even play a Kinect. Hell, this stuff was why we have people making accesories for the Kinect for this one distinct purpose. I just hope Sony doesnt improve their form of spyware on the Vita to do the same as the Kinect.

Although I admit that the Kinect is a fairly interesting device, I disagree with it being a 'revolution' or a 'breakthrough'. Considering that Sony came out with the Playstation Eye a couple years ago, which worked on the same principles as the Kinect. It sold terribly, but was, in fact, what the Kinect is. I hope at some point the fans realize this and start calling the kinect something that pays tribute to the Eye.

Again. As is with the Move, there's a delay in reading input. This kills any chance of playing any real games and hardcore gamers won't really care about anything like this. I mean, when certain gamers nitpick about sub 100 ms response times, the Kinect's obviously perceptible delay makes it useless.
