Nice way to illustrate the God awful LAG!
Seriously, people's brains must be getting slower and slower or I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the whole console thing anyway. |

| it's probably due to custom software and slow macBook, not kinetic itself. |

Agreed. The application itself was solid. |

directors of "minority report" hired one of the most enthusiastic develpers/folks to come with a futuristic concept of maning the machines. Believe it or not, they actually made it after the movie, they made it into usable tech.

kinetic stuff is just a waste of time. sure, it's a cheap alternative to "real and good stuff" but it's just that - cheap alternative.
real stuff exists and it is good, working etc. and it should be considered as such (Pro).
Kinetic is a toy, interesting things it can do, but not good enough to replace the "real stuff".
we have seen interesting things being done, but non of that is useful or applicable in RL. It is slow, bad, laggy, crap etc. even when doing that wall imature thing, it lags like hell. I would still prefer a lamp to entertain my children. |
