I honestly think that Croberts Faceware Announcement will go silently down to the drain in time....Who else remember 2015 HOTAS and Madcatz?

How do you optimise a webcam for foip?
Cheap mobiles can do this with an app?
It's been a long time since my computer vision courses but the optimisation surely comes in filtering the image in software. I can't see anything that you could do in hardware without applying something to the subjects face.
Maybe someone will buy one and take it apart.

You realize tho that CiG is not walking a fresh unused path in this regard? There are software companies out there which develop and build this tech for years already and many of them are much better suited to progress and use their programs in games to come. CiG simply tries to jump on the gravy train in this regard selling other peoples efforts as their own. Same as with so many ingame features that are lacking or given up over the time I have no doubt that face recognition tech will never be "finished" nor ready to sell to outside parties.

The Idris is about 240m long and 1600 tonnes. It's not supposed to be 'that' big. Similar to a modern naval destroyer or light carrier (though those are all much heavier) not a Star Destroyer or something.
This image shows a fighter in the landing bay. As you say, it's a tight squeeze.

If you believe the article is an honest opinion or not (I thought it was well balanced) One thing to keep in mind is that of the thousands watching the live stream very few will be undecided customers, so as far as getting new backers to spend money the live demo is probably not very effective. The $500,000 + raised yesterday was I'm guessing mostly ship sales to current backers.
The PC gamer article will be viewed by a much wider audience and will lead to lots of new backers signing up.
Interestingly the article was not written about the live demo but about a personal interview/demo by CR to the journalist. As CR was doing that all through gamescon, I expect a lot of new backers will sign up as a result of that and similar articles. So a job well done as far as SC are concerned. As this thread has a limited audience any comments here are like spitting into the wind in the bigger picture.
So essentially it is ~30% bigger than the large ships in ED.
To be honest, i'm not seeing anything particularly different in terms of graphics to what you can see in dozens of other games these days. Yeah, its nice, but still limited by what our comps can handle, which is already pretty nice. And if anything, i feel in some areas, the graphics are starting to look a bit dated.
And this is something that i'm pretty set on by now. They have so much technical debt, by the time they get to the effective 1.0 release, many aspects of the game will indeed be behind the times. They are already refactoring ships to make them look more modern. I think sooner or later they either release with out of date looking graphics in areas, or they get stuck in refactor hell.
So let me recap this, they said that the 3.0 (really 2.7 but who's counting) that was playable is coming in only a matter of weeks. So pretty soon I can straighten all my ethernet cables and whisper sweet nothings to my modem to get the no doubt mammoth download underway and fly around and try it for myself.
I honestly cannot wait. (partially cause of the potential lulz and partially because I've learned that waiting on SC is a fruitless endeavor so I seriously cannot wait.)

I wouldn't hold your hopes up for this year. Maybe Citizencon, maybe Christmas.
And ETAs are back on the schedule. Alpha.0.0.3.0 is now pushed back to 2nd week of october at the earliest.
But... but... it was a good idea for CIG to remove the deadlines! I was told many times by fans how it was a good move. Does this now mean it was a bad move? I'm so confused!

My work is in image processing and yes it is all done in software. You just need a nice camera (but even a cheap 10$ one will work).
See my post on FaceRig, this tech is already out there. And looks better than what CIG have done.
