• You're were watching coverage from a spot for GMA. Becky Worley is doing the demo, with Leo Laporte and Erik Lanagin from TWiT behind the camera.
• Looks like a female journalist has told Leo that she kept her poncho from last night, meaning that there's more than one missing poncho out there (that homing beacon is coming to get you Jeff).
  
•  You can tell that this is for mainstream TV the way they're talking dumb about the product, but I guess that's who they're selling the product to anyway.
•  Some details - Kinect apparently tracks 48 points on your body to do what it does. They'll have Kinect Sports, Kinect Adventures, Kinectamals, that Star Wars game and others that got mentioned before. No price reveiled yet - perhaps we'll have to wait until later today for more info.
• You were watching coverage for a spot for GMA. Now Leo Laporte from TWiT is demoing the product.
•  More details. It has an RGB camera, a depth sensor and a multiarray microphone. Plus, Facebook integration in games (in Kinect Adventures, it'll take EyeToy style pictures while you play and share them with your friends).
• Quote from Microsoft PR: "It's not just for casual gamers". Right... 
• More details on Video Conferencing will come later today during the Microsoft keynote. Also, when questioned about what 'RGB Camera' means, it seems like the Microsoft rep stumbles and doesn't know. In other words, it seems as though it has... a color camera.

I never thought watching people get ready to do a live thing would be so entertaining.

Man, I can't get over the fact that people look like idiots while playing motion controlled games.

Kinect 2010- You ARE the raft.

Anyone know if this livestream is legal? Looks kinda shady.
 
EDIT: That chick has got a fake-ass smile!

Who is taping this stream?  I feel like its some dude hiding in a corner who isn't supposed to be there.
 
Edit: Well, nevermind.

All of a sudden I want to buy a Ford and I don't know why =/
 
Edit: this is really awkward watching this...

I want the dude holding our camera to go over there while she's not looking and start playing the dancing game or something.

"Kinect 2010- You ARE the raft. "

Ok, stopped watching, the whole whispering stuff to the old guy was just too awkward...

Oh god... this is sooo bad... 
 
I feel bad...inside... 
 
When she said it's targeted for mom's with yoga, I died a little inside.

Too much misinformation to watch... It's making me feel dirty. Well I guess she doesn't know any better.

haven't seen leo laporte since he was on the screensavers, thought he had died or something lol.

oh god....

The woman just reminded me about it's voice activation features. I have a question. What happens if you happen to say one of the recognised phrases while talking to someone in the room while Kinect is running? Does Kinect know the difference between a command and conversation? If I say goodnight to someone leaving the room before I'm finished watching a movie, does Kinect shut down the system prematurely because it thought I was talking to it?

I imagine Microsoft would have thought of all that sort of stuff. They probably do have something worked out since that is probably one of the first questions that would come up during the design process, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to release it. Now if only they could think up a way to make a game that uses Kinect in a non gimmicky way.     "

 @The_Laughing_Man:  True... 
 
I guess they're going about it the right way, since I wouldn't want Kinect in my "hardcore" games anyway.

" True...  I guess they're going about it the right way, since I wouldn't want Kinect in my "hardcore" games anyway. "

That's exactly what it is.

I dunno why people go on about voice recognition like it's something amazingly new feature. Heck - it was in Nintendogs on the Nintendo DS for goodness sake; it was in SingStar. It's nothing new -- it all depends on software as to how it works.

The more I see of this thing the less interested I become. Then again, I am not the target audience. At least the Move looks like it has some more adult oriented games, but I think that will quickly change too and both of these new control schemes will quickly fill up with shovelware, just like the Wii. But that's what Microsoft and Sony apparently want.  
 
One thing is for sure...Ubisoft must be absolutely loving this. 

Only Kid Rock is more authentic than Kinect.

" @FakePlasticTree: I know what's going on today...
 
Red Steel 3D is coming. It won't be guaranteed for the Wii because it'll be a 360 exclusive. You will be the gun... in 3D.
 
@zudthespud: Only Red Steel 3D is more authentic than Kid Rock. "

They've been replaying the hell out of this since it aired earlier today. At the top of the hour, TWiT will transition to their Microsoft Press Conference coverage.

" @FakePlasticTree:  Who cares why Ubisoft will be loving it. If it has anything to do with Kinect, no one on Giant Bomb is going to care about it other than to watch Jeff, Vinnie, Brad and Ryan do goofie quick looks on them. "
