ThePitt Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Microsoft patent for Kinect counts number of people watching a video for digital rights management http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220120278904%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20120278904&RS=DN/20120278904 interesting. Now if Kinect fails (see a shadow where there is no person) you will have to pay, even more. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted November 6, 2012 Member Share Posted November 6, 2012 Would have been an interesting post from a tech point of you until you went all tin foil hat brigade on us. It has always been in the licence for purchased films that they are only to be shown to a certain limited size of audience, this number is far larger than kinect would be able to count any way so settle down. The tech for this is brilliant and it could have some great uses in entertainment and gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
