Don't worry, no going to hell for that. But remember: Every time you
laugh about a video in which a cat gets hurt, God kills a kitten...
... oh, wait...

Microsoft Kinect. Their answer to the Wii. It's been out for two
years, now. Even a troglodyte who never gets out of his cave should
know about it by now...

Andy makes another erroneous assumption. Must be a day that ends in Y.

I know what Kinect is. I wasn't sure whether it's the /only/ such system
on the market, that's all.

Well let me put it this way: When I tried to play with Kinect, myself
and my colleagues literally couldn't stand far enough away from the
sensor due to the wall behind us. The software constantly complained
that we were standing too close.

Kinect, Wii, PlayStation eye are the ones I'm aware of.

I know the Wii has hand controllers with velocity sensors. I didn't
think it had a /visual/ detection system though...

Hmmm, now you mention it, I'm not sure that one is visual either. The
PS3 one is, though.

The Wii can detect where you are pointing the controller at, and it does
this using infrared sensors. (I don't remember for sure, but I think it
was like the infrared leds are at the TV, and the controller has a sensor
that detects where the infrared light is coming from.)
The Kinect is much more advanced in that it actually detects your entire
body (and can recognize the positions of heads, hands and feet). I think
that it can even recognize individual people to a certain extent, but I
might remember wrong.
On the other hand, you can't "point at" anything with the Kinect, like
you can with the Wii controller. (You can simply "place" eg. your hand
at a certain location on the screen, but that's not the same as pointing
at it.)

It can recognize "player one" vs "player two". It can't recognize "fred" vs
"mary."
In other words, it can keep track of people it has seen recently. It doesn't
do face recognition or anything, but it can tell when someone walks off and
someone different walks into view, or when two players switch places, or
something like that.
