Gaming Two questions about the Xbox Kinect

[Bunie]

1) Does it move? I could swear in some videos i saw it move to keep the player centered.

2) Can it control music in-game? If you have background music playing, while playing a game such as The Force Unleashed 2, can i still say things like "Xbox, Pause."? Or does that only work while in-program.

If you have the new kernel you can do those things, but some games dont allow it, there is a list in the works. The Kinetic doesn't move per say the cameras do however.

The stand is motorized, and it moves to always "see" as much of you as possible (at least it does in the dashboard/main menu, but I guess it's the same in-game)

I don't know about voice commands though.

I don't think voice commands work. From the videos they had to use their hand to move throughout the dashboard and such.

1. It'll sync your position when you load a Kinect game, and when you're out of range for an amount of time, it'll try to move and detect your position

2. There is No Voice Command in games, it's only available in the Dashboard
