Kinect as a Game Tool

[Soviet Heavy]

I had a really neat idea. I was reading Extra Punctuation, and Yahtzee was going on about how Mass Effect 2's dialogue didn't sync up with the animations since they were done separately.

But Kinect has proven to be very versatile in tracking movements and lip syncing, so why not use it to make the animations and dialogue simultaneously? I think, if done correctly, it could make a vast improvement on game cutscenes.

What do you guys think?

You talking about using it to capture actor's faces prior to animating the character to make the face movements more realistic? Because they already have tools to do that which are alot more accurate then the Kinect. It's the tried and true Motion Capture Technology.
