[QUOTE="tbaggett, post: 4774, member: 413"] I would LOVE to see the MS Kinect for Windows supported in the PC version for use in a virtual pinball cabinet. This would allow for head tracking so as I move up and down or side to side, the playfield contents 3D perspective could shift, so they will appear to be real physical objects. That's the one thing that turns me off about virtual pinball cabinets with the existing apps being used--you have to stand in just the right spot, and be just the right height, and don't move, for the rendering to have any illusion of being real. Otherwise, it all comes off as what it is, a flat image. Here's an example video of what I'm talking about, but using the Nintendo Wii hardware. This same technique can be done with the Kinect or any device with a front-facing camera such as the iPhone or iPad as well. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw[/url] [/QUOTE]
