Hello everyone. I bought a house one year ago, and I'm not married yet. Until I get married, I will continue to build the ultimate man cave. I have an awesome home theater set up with a 125'' projector, surround sound, Alexa voice controls (lights, video input and music), Switch/PC/Wii U/PS3/etc, reclining theater seats with USB chargers built in. You would think that I am set for summer, but like Icarus, I want more. I want to be the ultimate couch potato for the rest of the summer. I want my skin to merge with the leather of my recliner.
Basically I would like to control my PC from my chairs without a physical mouse. I know I won't be able to type. I pretty much would use it to browse my media or to open up my bookmarks and browse with links. I played with the Kinect once at my friend's house back in the day. It seemed...okay. I plan on trying to use it or something like it to veg out for the rest of the summer. Here are my concerns and issues that I was hoping that you guys could help me with:
1) Will the Kinect reach me from my chairs? Will it work in a dark room? It seems like the answer is yes from my research, but is the Kinect functional enough?
2) Will the Kinect work in dark rooms?
3) Will the Kinect reach me from about 12-16 feet away?
4) Are there any programs that you know of that will make this work effectively? I did some research, but most of the stuff looks super old or like a proof of concept and not very functional.
If you have any other advice, please let me know.
