@Vebyast: "and don't even try on anything you want to run indoors"

@yamatosword: Good point.

@rogger_frogger: Both fair points :)

@rogger_frogger: Sigh. Let my hold your hand then:

@rogger_frogger: Someone who checks copy, unsurprisingly. What's copy? [dictionary.reference.com]

@Tyrunn: If you read the article, it's clear they meant superlative.

@pjcard: Also:

I think those guys (TechRadar) need a new copy checker:

I wonder how it sounds?

@HK-47: Don't hate the player, hate the game ;)

@Vebyast: We used to use SICK Lidars on our robots, they were damn expensive (And enormous!)

@Dreamwriter: Surprising, it's not part of the PrimeSense reference design, I wonder what they're using it for. [www.primesense.com]

@Dreamwriter:"What you're missing is the two things - one, that IR light isn't just a light, it puts a spread of thousands upon thousands of tiny IR dots of varying brightnesses all throughout the room"

@meatbag_pussrocket: Apparently not:

@NoelVeiga: And what's that stream provide that you couldn't get from two webcam's and a few IR bits'n'bobs for a fraction of the cost?

@Dreamwriter: Am I missing something here? Two cheap cameras, one with an IR filter and a resonabley powerful IR light = $150? Why not just make a generic one instead of trying to hack MS's? I would have thought you're mostly paying for the tracking software.

@Vebyast: From wikipedia: "The depth sensor consists of an infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, and allows the Kinect sensor to see in 3D under any ambient light conditions"

Huh. [images.google.co.uk]

You guys should put a warning on post derived from a story in the Mail, they're the epitome of sensationalist (and you don't want Giz tarred with that brush, do you?)

@Neopolis: Those hands are quite amazing
