[sldev] Body motion and facial expression tracking, Microsoft did it

[Philip Rosedale]

they are using a depth camera (basically a camera with pixel 'radar' 
that measures the distance to the image), which we have experimented 
with over a year ago (Merov worked with the same camera that is in the 
XBox).   Using this camera will require every consumer to acquire a new 
piece of hardware that costs more than $100.  Many of the same tricks 
can be done using a macbook or webcam, and that is what we are inspired 
about right now.   

It feels kind of rude to say "they beat you too it, and did it big time".
