Hi, my name is Eric Busch, and I’m one of the designers on Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13. Today I’ll be discussing Kinect for Xbox 360 integration in this year’s game. This probably goes without saying, but I am particularly proud and excited about the work our team did to create one of the most immersive and authentic video game golf experiences available. While we had previously introduced controller-based motion-control in the title, the technology in Kinect gave us the ability to track full body movements across 1,000 data points. This lets us identify a player’s subtle body movements and swing mechanics. With this level of detail in mind, we approached the design process for Kinect integration with two main goals.
