Kinect for all Amiga platforms, a new project

[kolla]

Does the Atari scene really have the same degree of enthusiasm (obsession) exhibited by Amiga devotees?

Yes. Unless by "enthusiasm" you mean "insanity", then the answer is "No". The Atari community in general is a much healthier one, without all the nut cases you find in "our" camp. Ditto for any other retro camp.

Same goes for C64 and Plus/4 scenes too.  It's just the Amiga scene that is full of mentally disturbed "Mummys Boys".

Which part of "there is no support for realtime ISO on AROS, Morphos and AOS4" didn't you understand?

I fully understand the problems we face in impplementing this, hence why I cannot do it alone with one or two coders. The question is do people want to get behind it or not and that is what I am trying to find out.

Just an update, it appears Microsoft believe in Kinnect for things other than games as well.

We have only seen the beggining of Kinect, and expect other controller models.

Where's the best place to read up on the progress being made with the Atari platform?

I'm not sure about websites, perhaps http://atari.org and http://www.ataricommunity.com

I'm on a few mailing lists that involves Atari people, such as the Aranym one and various linux/m68k related, and they all seems like very down to earth people

Had missed this Kinect, but investigated it.
This may very well be the last piece in the puzzle for the next big revolution. Robots for the masses.
Most technologies is here now. Chatbots are good. Voice recognition is good. AI in games are good. GPS is cheap and in place. DARPA and Honda fixed the ”balance”. Wireless broadband in place. If this Kinect gets cheap, it could bridge “Gamespace” with reality.

Wonder what Stephen Hawking would make of it...

But Amiga is far from a stagnant platform, so it's not surprising that there are so many very strong opinions on the direction that things should be moving.  If it were all retro-enjoyment, the Amiga forum would be a pretty peaceful place.

Yes... and sometimes envy.

Maybe for dance or move some games for casual gamers, hope the control pad be the main controller.

I'm sick of all this gimmicky motion control.  There's just too much latency and imprecision to take it seriously as a way to control action games.
