motion capture sensei, anyone?

i've recently been seeing advertisements for an xbox 360 game called ufc trainer. for those who may not have seen it yet, it's a mma (mixed martial arts) training program that uses the xbox360 motion capture device called the kinect. i'm curious as to whether anyone has used the program(i call it that since i don't view it as a game) or not. my brother in law is planning on buying it so at some point i plan on examining it for myself.

this got me to thinking....considering the advancements in basic motion capture technology, this may be a good way for people to learn at home as it would greatly reduce cost (45-65 dollars for the program vs. 20 dollars or so per lesson in a dojo, at least that's what i was paying prior to going in the military), and from what i can gather the motion capture enables the program to correct your technique...

either way i figure it would be good to stir up convo and see what others think of this

My son has a Kinect (motion camera) for his Xbox, and boy, is it FUN!!

but it only has raw capabilities.... it can see limbs, and a basic outline of the body, but it is not (yet) much good for intricate hand holds....

And although it reads a body, it has trouble when one body blocks the line of sight from the other body....

It would be ok for forms I guess....

BTW, I am not much of a dancer, that game whooped my butt!!..

lol.....i've been hearing alot about that dancing game from my brother in law....

he said my neices and nephews all have rhythm now thanks to it....

personally i'm not much for dancing....not my thing i suppose...nor singing....now drums, tenor saxaphone, or piano/keyboard sure...
