O intrebare care imi vine in minte ar fi - cum se descurca Kinect in intuneric? Am inteles ca se pot face multe cu acest nou sistem pe partea de recunoastere gesturi, dar asta intr-o camera luminata cel putin de TV. Daca trecem pe proiector mai pot conta pe aceeasi functionalitate in intuneric complet? Pentru ca daca nu, este destul de redusa aplicabilitatea, nu voi reveni de la 4-5 m diagonala la 1-1.5 m ca sa pot sa dau din maini sa schimb intre TV si joc.
