Damn. How long until there's Minovsky particles, thereby Gundams? Or GN Drives... Perhaps crossing dimensions, Knightmare frames or Armored Cores anybody?
ReplyDeleteI want one but it's too expensive
ReplyDeleteby Windows 8.1 logo, I can safely assume it already use Kinect for Windows v2, the same kinect used on Xbox One.
ReplyDeleteKuratas 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.
@Anonymous 7:06 AM : Are you aware that, this is not Tom's Hardware forum, but Gundam Guy's one, right? XD
DeleteI'll wait until it actually can WALK, not just driving on wheels. Cockpit is awesome tho
ReplyDeleteWindows....So does that mean it must stop at random times for shitty updates?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the AT from Votoms. And beware of blue screen of death :)
ReplyDeletein kuratas cockpit, directly use the voice Amuro XD
ReplyDeleteit's all fun and games... until they equipped the vulcans, heat hawk, and slaughter the city...
ReplyDeleteI 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
