Geld für Kinectsupport?
Microsoft has a Kinect SDK that includes voice recognition software they wrote.

Microsoft pays devs to add voice command support using it, and since Microsoft already wrote the SDK, developers can do it with a relatively low amount of effort on their part.

For developers to do this on the PS3 version, they would have to A.) not accept Microsoft's money and B.) write or find their own voice recognition SDK.

Ein Grund mehr zur PS3 Version zu greifen ~happy~

AngelvsMadman sagte:
Zahlt sich das wirklich aus, wenn man den Entwicklern quasi Geld für das Kinect-Logo gibt, dass wirklich soviele Gamer dann zur 360-Version greifen?
Denke ja, denn Kinect ist heute als "Kamera und Mikrofon" gefestigt. Wenn man wissen will was mit PS3eye möglich ist braucht man ein SDK.

Optic Nerve: millions of Yahoo webcam images intercepted by GCHQ


Britain's surveillance agency GCHQ, with aid from the US National Security Agency, intercepted and stored the webcam images of millions of internet users not suspected of wrongdoing, secret documents reveal.

Einfach mal alles speichern was man findet.
The documents also show that GCHQ trialled automatic searches based on facial recognition technology, for people resembling existing GCHQ targets: "f you search for similar IDs to your target, you will be able to request automatic comparison of the face in the similar IDs to those in your target's ID".
"Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their body to the other person. Also, the fact that the Yahoo software allows more than one person to view a webcam stream without necessarily sending a reciprocal stream means that it appears sometimes to be used for broadcasting pornography."
one presentation discusses with interest the potential and capabilities of the Xbox 360's Kinect camera, saying it generated "fairly normal webcam traffic" and was being evaluated as part of a wider program.

Documents previously revealed in the Guardian showed the NSA were exploring the video capabilities of game consoles for surveillance purposes.
