How?Incredibly, no - apparently it can detect heart rate.Even better: you cannot even watch a movie if Kinect is not connected and pointing towards you
People might put real sized dummys of themselves in the room to fool them![]()
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/may/22/xbox-one-kinect-controller-hands-onThe weirdest thing is that new Kinect can also track your heart rate. Yes, the sensor can track micro fluctuations of blood flow in your face, through the combination of the colour feed and the active IR
Waaaay worse than that. Just as one example, with heartrate fluctuations (and very specifically facial bloodflow changes) capable of being monitored, and with kinect knowing WHAT you are watching, they could collect extensive pointers on what 'floats your boat'. They could theoretically (this is the tinfoil speaking) tell if you were gay, or 'stimulated' by specific imagery - and they know who and where you are to boot!I predict that, in less than a year, someone will have done some poking around, revealed that heaps of data (including face recognition data, voice fingerprints, details of your watching and gaming habits and whatnot) is being sent back to headquarters in personally identifiable ways with little or no encryption.
Popcorn and tinfoil hats at the ready?
Yeah, they may have "split the atom" while designing this thing, but you would never know it by looking at it.The designer in the video makes it sound like it was sculpted by michelangelo or something.
If any of this was in the consumers best interest, they would have came out of the gate and explained all of this shit in great detail. Even if they didn't have the time at the reveal, they could have issued detailed press releases after the fact(hell, that's what there for).And now here's a contradictory story on how used games will work: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/24/4363732/xbox-one-spot-checks-used-game-authentication
Time Microsoft came out with a concise and clear message on used games .
I would almost guarantee they will, but at this point if they keep their mouths shut, all the focus will stay on MS.^ Not sure on that, SONY may come out with their own shit in time. I havn't heard much on this front from SONY.
Fixed :lol:Regardless of all the bs that has surrounded Microsoft's new console, I still want NONE.
You're not alone, it's being called XBone (or XB1 which sounds more like an experimental aircraft, which let's be honest, is way cooler) quite widely.Another problem:
Every time I see it written down (such as the title of this thread) I tend to read it as "XBONE" :rolleyes:
Do I really want to spend hundreds of pounds on chunk of dead body that a dog has been chewing on?
