Xbox's Kinect recognizes sign language

[Sajomir]

This isn't a tragedy, you have to get the basics right before you bother with something as complex and subtle as sign language and if you've been watching the videos, they haven't got the basics yet.

Sign language was a cool idea, but it's not really what you expect from what's basically a motion controller anyway.

Kinect has been falling short of just about every expectation, hasn't it? But really, I don't think Kinect will work for people missing limbs or people unable to use them. I mean, it has trouble working with women in skirts, children, dark-skinned people, people in dimly-lit rooms, and any more than two people on-screen. No way they're gonna make it compatible for people with those type of issues before women and children, which are a bigger audience.

Man, Microsoft and Sony just shouldn't have tried to copy the Wii (and each other to an extent).
