Hope it works well with MSFS

Now that would be awesome! Guess we need to look at the Kinect for PC SDK so we can build a head tracking app.

Yep...I've been keeping a close eye on on the Windows/Kinect sensor interaction for some time now. Not sure if it'll be beneficial to flight simmers..but it could provide a "Minority Report" dimension to other computing tasks. :)

I can see it moving to head tracking. With the correct optical sensors scanning from the shoulders up, this Kinect could be better than TrackIR. (Off topic) Considering MS Flight is being made for Xbox, I bet it Kinect will be too. Which still won't lure me to it.

Where do you hear this? From the official Microsoft Flight FAQ ( http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/#faq ):


Q: What is "Microsoft Flight?"
A: "Microsoft Flight" is a new PC game from Microsoft Game Studios.

I could be mistaken in regards to my last post. Xbox/Microsoft. It could have been one of those nights I didn't get any sleep :icon_lol:
