Kinect

I'm surprised how good the Kinect is. And a little disappointed. Sound contradictory enough? Good. Then let me explain.

The Kinect tracks your bodies motion amazingly well. It's not flaky or half assed. It really tacks your bodies motion. The disappointment then stems, not from the Kinect controller, but from the concept of motion tracking-- you have to watch your hands or you accidentally select something.

Or, if you are like me, you are big. If I have to raise my hand, then it hits the ceiling.

None of these problems are fatal. In fact, with a year or two of polish they kinect may become the next big thing.
