Thread: Microsoft Kinect helps guard Korean borders..

I found this interesting, and the article later shows how a surgeon uses the kinect during surgeries.

It's interesting to me, because this tech is a part of the XBox One. Amazing that such high tech gizmos will absolutely be a part of our everyday lives.

Yea its great, it also spies on everyone for Microsoft.

I also thought it intersting the way that the the kinect is being used to develop a sign-language, real time, interpretor. I can see a person eventually wearing google glass with the kinect software installed on their glasses, being able to communicate and understand the deaf without having learned sign language, as the glasses will interpret and spell out what is being said as you watch. Pretty awesome.

I've interacted with multiple deaf customers where I work, and it would definitely be amazing if the technology existed to seamlessly interact with them. I'm sure one day we'll have the universal translator technology of Star Trek in which any two people can interact regardless of the language they are speaking.

Yes everything is a conspiracy.

Sections 9 and 12 of the updated terms of service are particularly scary :

Which is why we all build our explosives and load our ammo in the room where the Xbox isn't. Duh.

It's ok. I found a way to tunnel a connection to the Illuminati tunnels in the Ozarks. I'll blend in

It won't be as long as you think. They already have the voice translators that you carry in your phone. Think if you had something like google glass that has the earpiece ( or Oculus Rift goggles) it could do it on the fly. The xbox 0ne software is so sophisticated, that it gives you a readout as to what muscles are being used with more stress than other muscles depending on the movements of the body. Soon, the panranoid Falco's of the world won't be able to move without big brother asking "where are you going?"

I know of those tunnels in the Ozark mountains. Been there. But the Illuminati sold the rights of use to Bilderberg. Might want to get a new badge.

Pretty soon, being multilingual won't be nearly the asset it is now. I'm glad I didn't pursue a foreign language degree in school.

There is no way in hell I would ever have one of those things in my house.
