Xbox 360 Gets Vision Camera This Fall 38
GinoMGG writes "During Major Nelson's latest podcast an interviewee let slip the release date for the Xbox Vision camera. According to the Microsoft staffer American and European gamers should expect the Vision camera on September 19th. Coming this holiday season, Vision will be available on three games, including UNO and World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions." You can see the camera in action on a humorous Kotaku post from today.

Looks like Bill is pulling another ol' switcheroo. He wants you to pay him so that he can watch you.

Honestly, maybe they might use all that extra wasted processing power to implement a bluff detector in the game based on biometric feedback from the camera.
Come on! I mean, a freakin card game is the biggest thing Xbox360 will offer for a camera

There is nothing quite like sitting across the table from your opponents, seeing and hearing their reactons.
Socializing is a big part of the casual gaming experience off-line, whether it is Bingo Night at the Catholic church or Monopoly played on the kitchen table.

Maybe you'd like to tell them how to write a program like that.
You can see the future and know this is the biggest thing they will offer? My, I am impressed.

Let's see: Nintendo copies Xbox Live Arcade, Sony copies Wiimote's motion sensitivity, and now Microsoft copies PS2's EyeToy, is there any innovation anymore?

Copying:
Microsoft copies the EyeToy
Sony copies the Wii-mote
Sony copies Xbox Live
Innovation:
Nintendo invent the Wii-mote
As to xbox live Nintendo haven't copied anything, in fact I wish they did. Their online service is very limited and doesn't even begin to offer what Microsoft do. I see where they are coming from (ease of use and protecting kids from unsavory types) but it would be nice if it was a lockable feature that parents

I hope so, at least for the online poker game. A penis would be far easier to read than a face when it comes to bluffing...

Which is why you begin with a game the kiddies can't play worth a damn, like poker.
Sell the webcam gaming experience like you would a Casino: Adults Only. But leave the sex trade to the suckers prowling the adult book stores on Nineteeth Street.
