Eyes to Live - Xbox 360 cameraSiggy @ May 31, 2006 02:59 | 10 comments
Xbox Live Vision will be compatible with both PC and Xbox 360, but Greenberg claims that this camera has been specifically designed for Xbox 360 and other webcams won't work with the console. Neither PC or Xbox 360 won't require additional drivers.
The camera features more than just support for interactive gaming, it also lets Xbox 360 users to set and interact with dashboard background for example waving hands to make a watery effect react. Also the Xbox 360 music player will be able to use the camera to capture what is going on in the room and visualize it with "psychedelic" effects.
Games such as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions will use the camera for creating both portrait and profile models from the player's head. The camera will also be used for gesture-based games as well as some other Xbox Live Arcade games.

Comment by: Godzilla (May 31, 2006 19:21) yeah.. in my opinion, this is going to be horrible, xbox needs to set up temporary bans for people who mis-use this camera, which people will do. |

Well atleast now in Halo when someone decides they don't wanna fight fair no more and goes and becomes a sniper bitch, atleast now i can rest easy knowing in real life I'd beat the shit out of them. It always got on my nerves how racist people were on live so i feel it'd make the experience that much more enjoyable . |

normal webcams will not work with it.
We're adding eyes to Live, if you will," said Greenberg, when detailing the function of the camera. The USB 2.0 peripheral, named Xbox Live Vision, will be compatible with PCs, and no drivers will be required for either machine. Greenberg also said that other Web cams won't work with the Xbox 360--the Xbox 360 cam was designed specifically for the 360.
should have read we're ripping your eyes out again.
specifically designed for the 360, what co's it's white |
