You bring up some important points here. The voice recognition is handled by a program called VAC, which lets you map your voice commands to certain keystrokes. The windows software handles the initial voice recognition, so each person would have to set that up. The walking part could be...

Thank you, greatly appreciated. It seemed that I had overwhelming support from the escapist forums when I posted my last video. You guys are wonderful, and your feedback on my last video really helped me find a new direction for this one.

Absolutely, when I am not playing with the Kinect, I usually play with the keyboard/mouse and voice controls. The Xbox controller w/ voice controls is a good fit as well. That said, I really enjoy the Kinect experience, and the whole controller free gaming.

Of course you can shout Fus Ro Dah and use your dragon shout... Unfortunately, before I made this video I failed to realize the immense popularity of that particular shout. I honestly don't use Unrelenting Force very often, so it didn't make it into the video, but it certainly is programmed...

Hey, thanks for all the great feedback! You're certainly right that there are certain limitations with the Kinect as it stands nows. Even the big developers are struggling to release games that really use it to its full potential, even working within those limitations. In my situation being...

I think these are a couple of good ideas. I tried using a walk in place movement method, rather than the foot forward, but ran into some complications. I thought about keeping the foot forward method for moving forward, but then the person would have to run in place to sprint. I would love...

Yeah, there are a lot of people who are skeptical about the Kinect. I think that with the current lineup of casual games, there hasn't been a whole lot to change their minds either. Then again, some people just don't like the idea of being physical while gaming.

@RisingBlade Well, I can't guarantee you won't look silly, but I will say it can be a workout. I've had a few hour long Skyrim Kinect marathons and by the end of them i've broken more than a sweat.

Yeah, one of the most frequent comments is that people would like to be able to use the voice control alongside their keyboard/mouse setup or with their controller. I'll be honest, I couldn't play like that for hours on end, it's actually a bit of a workout. But, it's so fun in smaller doses...

Thanks Kyle1527, I appreciate the kudos! My youtube description goes into greater detail of how it all works. A Kinect is used to track my movements, and due to limitations with the Kinct development kit I am working with, a bluetooth headset was used for voice commands.

Meh, the other one just included a poll. Yes/No whether people like the idea of Kinect in Skyrim doesn't really give it fair coverage anyway. So, what do you guys think? Does it look like something you would be interested in?

Sorry, posted multiple times. I'm gonna delete the other posts and repost this if i can.
