    Damn. How long until there's Minovsky particles, thereby Gundams? Or GN Drives... Perhaps crossing dimensions, Knightmare frames or Armored Cores anybody?

    by Windows 8.1 logo, I can safely assume it already use Kinect for Windows v2, the same kinect used on Xbox One.
    Kuratas uses V-Sido custom software and Kinect hardware to control its movement.

    original Kinect for Windows requires Win7, but it also has vast array of alternative open source driver and library like OpenNI and OpenKinect, which make it possible to run on non-windows OS.
    the latest Kinect v2 doesn't have open source library yet, and requires Win8 at minimum.

    I attended a fantastic wedding here about a week ago. The food was beyond belief, staff was attentive and there was plenty of space too. The views from top of the building are great
