searchmyday, and anyone else who brings up how laggy it is, keep in mind these are community written drivers. These are done with drivers made by people in there spare time, not Microsoft. The laggyness will go eventually, but I think right now they're focusing on compatibility and actually making it work, then focusing on the speed.
Mmmmm, I take the point about the drivers not being professionally produced but the lag there is very noticable and he's moving very, very slowly. If Qui Gon moved like that, Darth Maul would've killed him!
Oh.
Oh.
Nah, thats good but i cannot wait for the Kinect 3D Girlfriend Rape Simulator.
Japanese Perverts are already on the progress of making something like that.

You are the controler.
Your wooden stick is the lightsaber.
You're house is trashed from smashing stuff with the stick.
Your Mrs is dead from taking too many accidental broomsticks to the head.
Also, That broomstick looks like a Dildo with light superimposed onto it!!!! Lawl Dildo wagglestick...

Think we all want a decent sword fighting game for the Kinect/Move/Wii.
Hopefully one day we will get it.

... but I thought "you are the controller" ... what's he using a stick for... he's supposed to just position his hands and pretend he holding a stick.
Basically he's making the Kinect into a Wii or PSMove game... with peripherals...

Wait.....doesn't holding something in your hands defeat the purpose of the Kinect? Aren't YOU the controller?!?!
If you ask me, this demo wasn't that great. No motion blur if he moved the stick fas--wait, he didn't move it fast. Also, no common lightsaber sound. Perhaps v2.0 will come around. Or a nerdier nerd will make a better one.

That guy is getting sued by Lucas and whoever else made up the star wars crap and sues like lightning.
I don't care if it makes me sound like a fanboy, but I still say anything sword or lightsaber-related will ALWAYS have more potential with the Move of the Wii Remote if we're going to actually use it for gaming.
Still, impressive video.

if you recall, the wiimote went through the same sort of testing phase. i doubt that any of this homebrew stuff will hit mainstream (again, look at the wiimote for proof), but it is very interesting...
also, when are you going to "gently shoot" sonyichiban in the face? he's worn out his welcome in the matter of what, two weeks?

Thing is the general public .... ok well the geek public will almost always upstage the industry if given half a chance and the motivation. Its just that magical balance of technically skilled and motivated that you need to get just right. If they are lucky they get bought out .... if their not they get C&D orders.
If they had drivers for Move, he could have actually turned the saber on and off with a cool animation, probably with much less lag (Tho I can't be sure of the exact source of lag in this instance, it could be kinect / drivers / his FX programme.)
Oh, btw, the light saber wouldn't have any shadow either, even better than the movies! (Yeah, light sabers in star wars movies, including the latest ones, have shadows.)
Um, hate to break it to ya Conrad, but the small-time, independent, home-brewed tech geniuses are ALREADY outpacing the industry. Kinect is an amazing piece of tech, but the industry is never going to do anything with it. Why? Because it was marketted as this kiddy toy, and that's exactly what it is.
The Kinect hardware is amazing. The Kinect product is not.

kinect is pretty awesome, but that lag... cant take it. even playing wii sports resort's sword game have a better feel
I can't say I've been impressed with the actual hardware of Kinect as of yet. It feels like the Wii Remote when it first came out; promised a lot, but there's some noticeable limitations of the movement and a lot of fumbling about when it comes to use it. I bet Microsoft are already working on a new piece of hardware that fulfils some of the device's earlier promises (scanning items, recognising finger movements) because there's some definite room for improvement.
That said, I reckon the inevitable Kinect lightsaber game wont be as cool as this. Again, it takes me back to the Wii Remote, when that Johnny Lee guy broke it open and came up with all sorts of technical wizardry that we've never seen a developer bother with. (I believe the guy was a designer of the Kinect hardware too!)

Aaah...gotta love the peeps hacking the KINECT and giving glimpses of the potential it holds.
How come no one has hacked or connected their MOVE to a roomba or made a puppet demo???
