While many hardcore gamers wait on a practical use for Microsoft's Kinect sensor beyond the odd gesture and navigation based voice command, the South Korean government has found a way to put the gaming sensors to use. Along with the personnel guarding the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the military is using Kinect sensors to monitor movement at the border between the North and South, according to reports. Source article This sounds like something out of Call of Duty but apparently South Korea have found a use for Microsoft's swing and miss Kinect. Wonder if they will be upgrading to the new Xbox One system with better camera resolution and such!  lol Microsoft Knect |

Well thats a bad idea. All the North Koreans have to do is shout "Xbox turn off" and the surveillance system will shut down  |

Even more interesting are the types of behaviors that have to be expressed by the soldiers guarding the DMZ, on both sides.
Did ya catch the soldier on the far right side of the picture? Standing at attention halfway behind a building. Silly posturing at best. Someday humans will grow past this kind of thing, or not. Either way it is kinda neat the the Kinect can do the job. Rather have it guarding the border than staring back at me at night......

Looks like "at ease" to me....and it means the other guys can't see if he's got his hand on his side arm.....not that that's going to stop an invasion of course.... |

Maybe he decided to just do a 180 so as not to be photographed?

You should watch the Vice video where they goto North Korea. The way each side treats the border is very different. NK wants to project a strong antagonistic front while SK wants to project a non provocative forceful wall.

As long as it is not hooked to any weapons systems…cool. South Koreans are known as serious gamers, some play until they die. Imagine if they were and someone hacked the system. Call of Duty LIVE!
