Is there plans to support kinect?

[Kenneth McGrew]

maybe i can use that to prop my kitchen table up when they stop supporting that, my original kinect will be a door stop this summer all i need now is one to hang my towels on and the set will be complete

just so you can visualise it...

I don't believe that we plan to incorporate Kinect support to Elite Dangerous.

Well, that's the end of that then!
Next question?

How about supporting USB DJ Turntables? I think that'd be just as useful for Elite Dangerous.

That'd be good for lining up the mail-slot.

besides, kinect will waste precious memory.. I'd rather have Frontier use that memory to boost graphics.. (Like they do in 1.6)

Indeed.

Kinect uses (IIRC) 10% of GPU resources for the camera and tracking etc.

That 10% used to be reserved regardless of whether a game wanted or needed to use Kinect, before MS finally removed that reservation in June 2014 and allowed devs to use *everything*.

Adding support for Kinect to ED would mean sacrificing graphics, it's as simple as that.

Funniest thing I've read on here for an age... only because I'm living it too [yesnod]

I added kinect voice commands to Skyrim on the 360...until my wife clapped me round the head at 3 in the morning for waking her up shouting "Fus-Roh-Da!" at the TV..

Ah man now that was a blast, i thought it worked unbeliveable and enjoyed every moment i had playing skyrim with Kinect, great experience and why the hate and neglect for it when it was capable was weird to me, my Kinect was calibrated and worked flawlessly. to of had head tracking and voice attack for ED via Kinect would of been something great, oh well, looks like we wont ever have voice commands for our ships.

XBox, Oh, my reply edited to remove stupid reply. Sorry

Oh, man. I can SO relate. No reps though, Moley

It may come back more into general use if VR takes off.

I use my kinect to turn my Xbox on and off. That's about it!

But voice commands are still active and the XBox will respond to it's basic set. I'd like to see a few added by FD such as

"Select Target"
"Target <insert subsystem>"
"Power to Systems/Weapons/Engines"
"Set Thrust <insert %>"
"Release Chaff"
"FA On/Off"
"Dis/En-able <insert subsystem>"

Those are my most obvious ones I'm sure others would be equally useful.
