According IGN, Kinect has problems with ‘skeletal framing’ if you are sitting down. Whilst this may not be a huge problem whilst you are playing a game, if you were hoping to laze on the sofa and just wave your hand to fast forward a movie then you may be out of luck.
“All the cool options to grab a slider and advance through frames of a movie you are watching only work when you are on your feet.”
“Kinect, we’ve been told, has problems handling your skeletal frame while sitting. The voice commands still work, but every game we’ve seen and even simple menu navigation has to be done with you out of your seat.”
Another problem occurred when the same demonstrator was showing off the Ubisoft ‘Your Shape’ demos. Felicia Williams was the lady being scanned, once at the Microsoft press conference and then again at the Ubisoft event. Somehow in the space of a few hours she has managed to shrink two inches.

What sort of gaffe is this? There’s no way I’d ever play a Halo or forza game standing up all the time, you’d be stiff as hell. Also, I don’t think she was wearing different footwear in those two shots, it looks like she’s still wearing the same shoes she wore all day.

TBH the most exciting thing about Katal is that someone is going to make an app to use it as a stereoscopic webcam.

this is just hilarious really. Kinect not really doing well so far, shame really as it could be good for casual gamers.

hence why i sold the wii. most of the actions required you to either sit on the edge of the seat or stand to pull off comfortably. i like to lounge about when playing games

If that woman can shrink a couple of inches,can she also drop a dress size? If so, my wife wants one of these.
