Poor lems :( Kinect was their only hope. Not only it is useless now but also a rip off since anyone with a router could potentially use WiSee

Kinect was always irrelevant in the gaming industry!
It's nice technology tho...

Edit: After reading the article Kinect is not a nice technology anymore.

The Move advantage is feedback this can't use feedback unless you have a separate system for it.

they are kind of different in that one has to do with running sims and adding to our collective knowledge and the other is more about practical applications but sure why not.

f@h has been around for 13 years and has achieved some cool things.

Kinect(lol) was irrelevant to me in 2009. The only thing I was mildly amused with it was playing ME3 and using it for my dialogue choices, but that would of been possible with just a mic. Beyond useless for gaming for me and a loath it and any motion control gaming. Attempting demos of various games proved my opinion on it over and over.

Kinect is a gaming device while this isn't. Are cows now looking for non-gaming products to own the lems?

look as much as i love sony and the ps3/4. 
This is NOTHING compared to what Kinect does. Yes the wifi signal could be used for BASIC operations but to do what kinect can do in terms of recognizing different body movements, nope. 

Lets be real, it'd be completely stupid to say "kinect just became irrelevant" after watching that video. From what I see , it looks like one movement (causes change in wifi signal) which results in ONE operation done.

this tech and others definitely undercut any non-game advantage that MS might have thought they had when they wove Kinect into the identity of the Xbox one. MS can still do well by doing well with the game aspect though, which is good in my books. MS could use a little fear in them. It could only inspire great software.

That's why there are 100's of projects out there using Kinect. I haven't seen any projects out there using the Wii for anything. This isn't even using the Wii device, it's a completely different technology that more advance then the Wii motion. lol!! The Wii sensor just because irrelevant. Kinect does everything and plays games as well.

Except this wifi thing is maybe kinect 1.0 accurate at best probably less so, and maybe more laggy. Kinect 2.0 is far more accurate and non laggy.

EDIT: Also people complain about Kinect and privacy in the front room, this wifi thing has the potential for full house sonar.

Not a fan of Kinect but that looks a lot less precise and limited. Kinect scans your whole body while WiFi motion only detects waves.....

I'm sure that's of no concern for privacy at all.

 

Honestly it reminds of the cellphone radar from the Dark Knight.
