Kinect Review

By Nicholas Tan

Almost a Love Kinection.



Even since I took a computer science class on hand gesticulations for user interfaces (NERD!!!), I knew that they would be the wave of the future, and that video game consoles would be among the earliest adopters of the controller-free interactions that they would provide. Though the Kinect isn't the messiah or must-have peripheral that it wishes to…

  • Full-body motion controller
  • Great for workouts and parties
  • Slick-looking
  • Voice controls
  • It's made of <i>the future</i>
  • Requires a ginormous space
  • Lag and occasionally unresponsive
  • Hover-and-hold interface takes too long
  • Controller is usually faster
  • Can I sit down and play, please?
  • Just give it time
