http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspxI'll start by saying I think Kinect is, generally speaking, very cool. Just so you know where I stand, generally. :-) Others have written about the Kinect and wheelchairs before, like in I Connect with Kinect from August 18th. I have only interacteden-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspx#10157664Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:12:13 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10157664Sorting it all Out<p>For info on what happened the next day and the day after, see From Bunnarchy with Santa and Jessica Rabbit</p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10157664" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspx#10096763Thu, 25 Nov 2010 19:24:59 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10096763Michael S.

It may be better to see how well game developers work to support the seated pipe, for both your son&#39;s sake and mine getting maximinal benefit....</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10092931" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspx#10092712Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:16:37 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10092712fourboyzmom<p>I am the mom of a 12 yr old boy who has CP and uses a powerchair. He is a master at crazy taxi, but I would love to give him more choices game wise. We have a PS2 and an xbox at the moment. I looked into the Wii a while back, but my husband and other sons thought the graphics were lousy. I was about to order the Kinect, when I stumbled upon your article. Would you be able to offer some advice before I do my holiday shopping?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10092712" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspx#10091547Tue, 16 Nov 2010 01:32:16 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10091547Michael S. Kaplan<p>iBots themselves aren&#39;t useful as a group (not enough of a market) but by dealing with the general issue of people sitting (which the iBot helped show some real flaws with) they were able to deal with a much larger circumstance (one that they can now push game developers to do better with and that will enable couch potatoes as much as those who can&#39;t get up).</p> <p>Exciting times! :-)</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10091547" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2010/11/15/10090877.aspx#10091446Mon, 15 Nov 2010 20:29:08 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10091446J<p>Making people stand up in games seems to be the flaw. &nbsp;</p> <p>The number of people with iBots can&#39;t be a meaningful design point. You&#39;re very lucky to have been involved so directly as is. I think it&#39;s cool that they spent so much effort on it, actually. Did they spend time for those without arms? That would be cool too. </p> <p>Lobbying the game developers (if Kinect is even a success) to support sitting &#39;pipe&#39; seems the best course of action. That could be enabling. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10091446" width="1" height="1">
