节选自福布斯：
At CES on Friday, I had a chance to escape the chaotic show floor and sit down with Microsoft product manager David Dennis, to talk about Microsoft’s recent slew of announcements around Kinect and Xbox Live and what’s in store for Microsoft gaming in 2011.
One of the questions I asked Dennis was what he thought of all the hacking of the Kinect that’s been going on in just the short couple of months since the motion-gaming system’s been out. To my surprise, he was pretty interested in what the hackers had been doing with Kinect. “It’s pretty cool to see what the community has come up with,” he said.
Indeed, it seems like every day, some smart, resourceful young hacker comes up with some neat new use for Kinect, from 3-D video capture to real-time lightsaber action to controlling your “World of Warcraft” character with Kinect.
When the Kinect was first launched, Microsoft frowned upon hacking Kinect. But after the first few hacks began coming out, the company changed its stance to a more neutral position. “We don’t see any harm in it,” Dennis tells me, adding that the company will continue to evaluate what’s going on outside official Kinect limits. That’s not exactly a full out embrace of the Kinect hacker community, but it’s certainly an encouraging note to them.
Microsoft itself is constantly thinking about the different possible applications for Kinect, from academic to vocational to medical applications. I tell Dennis that Kinect will have to eventually move off of the Xbox 360 and officially be available for other systems and devices if that broad vision of Kinect applications is to come about. He agreed and it sounds like the company in the long term is considering that possibility. Reports suggest that Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer himself is thinking about supporting Kinect on the PC. |
