Garry's Kinecting Garry's Mod

Today's inspirational videos show Garry Newman's progress in connecting the Kinect to his Garry's Mod.

Kinect and the GMod

I'm having way too much fun with the Kinect and GMod. Here's some answers to common questions.

Is this on PC? Is Garry's Mod coming out for xbox? Yes it's on PC - and no Garry's Mod isn't coming out for xbox. Ever.

Is this motion capture - you're creating animations? No - it's live. You move your arm and the ragdoll moves its arm. You jump - and it jumps. It's live, your body is directly controlling the ragdoll.

Does it work in multiplayer? Yes! You can join a server and take control of a ragdoll. Your friend can join and take control of one and you can dance together.

What do I need? A Kinect and the "Kinect for Windows Runtime v1.6". You don't need the "made for windows" kinect - but if you have a 360 kinect you might need to get a power/usb cable so you can plug it into your PC. Sorry mac guys - it is Windows only.

Did that guy turn into a ragdoll? Yeah - when the kinect can't track you anymore the ragdoll turns back into a ragdoll, and just drops to the floor in place.
