Thanks,

I suspect with the proper knowledge that is something that could be built from scratch much easier than bought. It would need limited supplies (a projector, kinect sensor, desktop computer) and with many of the gaming engines being available for download, the scenarios could be programed into the computer. I have had ideas of using LED diodes from a Wiimote integrated with a pistol or rifle replica that would act as the gun and the kinect sensor would act as the control with the wii sensor bar
You definitely have my attention. Is the Kinect Sensor sufficiently precise to give a reasonable hit location?
Chas.
Charles, as a person who has programmed and studied the Wii and Xbox devices, I can tell you that going down that path is a bag of hurt, not to mention wasted money. Please don't force me to write a really long post that states all the reasons why
. Suffice to say: There's a good reason you don't see it used by trainers.
