Hi Folks,
I found this article about a new way to interact with games interesting but
don't know if it is blind accessible.

Hi Phil,
Wow! This Kinect technology sounds awesome. I'd never expect Microsoft
actually would come up with something that sounds this cool. Once
released this will make the XBox 360 the leading game console out
there if it works. Especially, since Microsoft has been having alot of
commercial failu
And don't forget the playstation move for the ps3... everyone is joining
that party. lol.

Hi,
That's my thought exactly. the Kinect technology does sound better
than the Wii. However, I am concerned about accessibility as it might
be more difficult to access menus and things through gestures
alone.Although, perhaps the voice commands will allow you to say "new
game" and it will start a
yep i know a few of my brothers mate's who have already put orders in for this.
It could also to a degree make games a bit more accessable for us. it will
deffinatly make it more interactive.

You know, I've heard a lot of fighting game players talk about that. The
truth is, playing a game like that via exclusive motion isn't precise enough
as button presses. With frame data, and the rest of it, your timing needs to
be pretty spot on. Capcom realized this... and in Tatsunoko vs. capco
is is just my
opinion, but not very likely. Not in that many cases, a any rate.

Hi Clement,
Yeah, I've heard that too. You got a point. I know just with the
experience I have had with the Wii-Motes it is darn hard to do
anything precise because the motion sensor in the Wii-Mote usually
gives you too much motion or too little motion. While a cool idea in
concept it fails to giv

yeah that is quite awesome.
Its also true that ms has lost loads with newer systems.
Right now they are probably close to losing me again at least for a while.
it all boils down to a decision on the replacement or outfitting of
the main box which has been running for the last 10 years.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the article. I really like the WII bowling for the motion sensor of
the controller. If the Kinect controls work as well and with the voice
control, maybe some of the games will be accessible and allot of fun to play
like the WII bowling.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 so havent' had a chanse to try the
Move yet. I'm still with the PS2 for the moment since it has the most
playable titles, and I'm short on cash for a PS3 at the moment.
However, I've heard a lot of good things about the Move, and it is

Actually that has been one of the major factors in our switch from
