LA Noire: Capturing emotional gameplay
SanderElastique
In the fall of 2011 Rockstar GamesW will release the LA NoireW. In this game you are a detective who has to solve a murder mystery. By interrogating people you have to find out if they are telling the truth or that they are lying. By using lots of camera’s in specialized room they are now able to capture the emotional expressions of the actors/characters unlike we have seen before. In the video below they go more indepth how this technique works. Awesome stuff!

In this really interesting TEDxW talk from Seth Priebatsch, the Chief Ninja @ SCVNGR (a game-layer on top of the “real” world). In his talk he explaines how these real-life game mechanics work. Interesting stuff. He states that this decade was the decade of social and the coming decade the decade of games. Enemy RC-XD spotted!

Lego+AR+Interactivity=Epic Experience FTW!
SanderElastique
IntelW‘s Research Lab has come up with a awesome idea to incorporate in toys. By using a KinectW like camera they can see shapes and give them contextual interaction with their environment.
This experiment gives a glimpse into the future which is really interesting. Are we going to shape all our experiences with rich interactive programmed content or is this a logical step in evolution? Anyhoe good busy Intel, it makes me think.
