Skyrim's kinect intergration

First of all, you've got the kinect for the xbox 360 and i'm sure all of you know what one is and what it's capable of. I won't talk about how we got to motion gaming and how it became today because i'm sure most of you will know that the nintendo wii were the first ones to bring it to this generation of market. You've got other nintendo add-ons like the power glove for the NES and many other add-ones for many other nintendo consoles.

I learnt the other day that you can actually do motion capture on the kinect and that's just one of the features i'd love to do if I got a kinect. I'm an animator and instead of working out how to do the movements on 3DS max or motion builder, I could actually pick up a second hand kinect set it up in my room and then load up the motion capture software on my windows motion and start dancing or do any other action that I can think of and that create a biped from the motion tracking cooridanates and have myself a little animated 3D model that took over from start to finish about an hour.

Sony brought out their own motion controls to the ps3 called playstation move. This controller just looks like a wand with a ambient ball on the end. This ambient ball has the power to be tracked by the playstation eye camera, this means that the wand can be tracked in 3 dimensional space.

Skyrim and the kinect intergration. If you have a look at the trailer, the trailer promises so many voice commands for all kinds of different features. Betheseda, the creator of skyrim and the elder scrolls series have said that, most of the main controls we were able to fit on the control pad but you've got the quick selection keys such as sorting your inventory by different types e.g. Value, weight, alphabettically.

One of the other voices commands you've got is quick equip, say if you wanted to quickly equip your sword and shield, you could say that and it would equiped it for you without going into any of the menus.
 I think one of the biggest features and it's going to be the most popular voice command will be, you'll be able to do a dragon shout just by speaking in the tongue of a dragon or actually saying the english version of the shout. If you wanted to do fus ro dah, you'd say unrelenting force instead.

Sorry for the late blog as well, I needed to concentrate on this video i'm working on for college. When it's finished it's gonna be put to my channel on youtube with the same name.
