Poll: Skyrim Kinect

[KinectFAAST]

What I am posting here is essentially a response to Cliff Bleszinski's (of Epic Games) recent comments that he would like to see a Skyrim utilizing the Kinect where you could "cast my spells using my hand". (Cliff's interview covered by OXM: http://bit.ly/tLHIaY)

What I have done is tried to create that exact experience he is describing. Using the Kinect and Skyrim on PC, I have made it so you can use both gestures and voice to control your character.

That means swinging your arm to slash your sword, casting spells with your hands, and thrusting your arm forward to block with your shield.

This also means Dragon Shouts.

Of course there is going to be those who simply do not like the idea of motion gaming. There always will be. But for those, who like Cliff, want to see Kinect functionality taken to the next level. This may be the starting point.

Hope you enjoy the video. I would love any comments and feedback!

Woah, do you have a YouTube video of this or something? For once, I actually agree with this... but mostly for the shouts. Yelling WUL! at the screen would be awesome!

yeah, shouting FUS RO DAH would be awesome, and seeing everyone be knocked back. i hope they do this for PC too.

LOL, my biggest regret is not including FUS RO DAH. Its programmed into the voice commands, but it just didn't get used in the heat of the battle. Just to clarify, what you are seeing is in fact for PC, not Xbox 360.

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

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?

Wow man...just wow. If they added Kinect support that would be absolutely amazing. So you had to program in all of this stuff and hack a Kinect? Great job!!!!

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.
