The combination of Hatsune Miku, Kinect and a head-mounted display now offers some quite startling virtual reality possibilities…
The video, which utilises a a PC running Kinect and MikuMiku Dance with the addition of an HMD for a promising if crude virtual reality-on-a-shoestring setup:
Sadly, Kinect’s complete failure in Japan means a Kinect-enabled Project Diva with modern graphics will remain a fantasy, but MikuMiku Dance may yet offer an alternative.

Must buy a Kinect now even though I don't have an X360...
I am thinking the same thing, have tried MMD a few times.
This is amazing! I want to be Miku! ^.^
VR visor? Are we one more step closer to an ACTUAL .hack// mmo?
That sucks if you are an ordinary character that got hit by data drain XD
Or more like greed island got game over :D
Miku sure likes to kick balls...
She ca kick my balls anytime she...
wait...
It's spelled "can" stupid anon.
MikuMiku Dance is WIN! As for Kinect in Japan, well...
miku-nect :3
You know?
I read that as "me connect"...
You may be on to something. :O
Miku FTW!
I can see Project Diva taking it to a whole new level, away from button mashing...
Plz god, I beg of you, make this a reality! >.<
Sound effect BANZAI...
CG BANZAI...
3D Modeling BANZAI...
Remote Censoring BANZAI...
Technology BANZAI...
It's like your climaxing when you say BANZAI with that avatar. MIKU BANZAI HHNNNGGG. :3
So what's next? Dance showdown on Xbox LIVE using your custom made Miku/Vocaloid avatar?
That can help people exercise while having fun.
To be one with the Songstress of Leek, in body, mind and spirit.
I love you, Japan (except the politics)!!!
We shall all prey for that I say...
God, I have never asked you for anything until now, please please do this, if anything...
He needs to figure out movement and then tron / .//hack / matrix won't be movie ideas anymore.
Screw Japan's crapsack politics, Luka and Miku FTW!
Once again, japanese technology and love for that singing goddess never ceases to amaze me, i can predict new project DIVA using Kinect (Button-mashing nearly broke my fingers and gave a RSI after beating the game in hard mode)
New amateurs hatsune porn movies? great!
I imagine a lukaxmiku movie, or a incestuous one with the twins

This is the most god-damned impressive kinect hack i have seen. VERY impressed. Now all we need is to find out how to fake touch senses and we're in virtual space.
And did anyone else want miku to fall off the beam too ? I thought it was kinda funny !
off topic, are there any good head mounts yet? as in 720p stereoscopic?
I'll exercise everyday if Miku is put on live Xbox 360!
THE MATRIX HAS US!!!!
Now this is something that Kinect needed...way back when, wonder if it's too late to consider this an option for getting Kinect sells up in Japan?...
Games will never be the same :D
Yes he will allow technology to take further strides,Because God(Katsuragi Keima) plays something similar too.^^
virtual reality + eroge, plz god let technology advance fast!
They COULD sell Kinect as a standalone and PC modders and PC gamers in Japan will have a FIELD DAY.
Sega can make use of the ps3 eye toy camera and we will have "project diva dance" or something.
We can all dance like girls! XD
HELL YEHHH Miku leeks flicking away right in your eyes!
illusion better start using kinect and makes better games! i REALLY dont mind a rap***y 2.
Rapelay was awesmoe, if they do make a 2 it better have SchoolMate2 quality.
a whole new meaning of "cybers*x" lol
now just give it Crysis gfx xD
Looks nice
*insert comment about finally being able to make virtual Vocaloid love to Miku-chan here*
*inserts comment about finally being able to make virtual Vocaloid love to Miku-chan* <3
5:08 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MIKU!!! ;_;
One of the comments translates as "Does this mean a '.hack' like world is coming?"
As crude as this demonstration looks, I say HELL FUCKING YES. Possible implementation of virtual reality setup in the future (vision/hearing headset + body sensor).
I'm torn on the aspect of taking a female persona though(transvestites probably don't give a fuck. rather they love it)...
Nothing wrong with taking a female persona and spending some quality time with yourself!
What better way to get into selfcest?...
Quality time huh?
It's not like you can feel how soft the boobs you'd grab. It's pure visual and nothing else.
It'd be a great application for MMORPGs to give the perception that you're living in a fantasy world and can interact or change it. However, it won't be any different as a sex toy from what we already have.
It'll take some kind of technology that can also transfer the feeling ON THE SKIN to totally make it worthwhile to fap with, though we may have to wait another millenium because such technology would involve the brain and how we perceive 'senses'.
Also, total population collapse.
I would gladly take a female persona in such a world...
WIN! Definately full of WIN!
Miku Miku Miku :D
people listend to Beyond the Bounds Vocaloid Version. i love it while playing Peace Walker :D
Fuck, if they released a dancing project diva I would buy a Kinect and ps3 JUST to play that.
I take it you mean the Xbox 360 as Sony killed the chances of hacking third party hardware on the PS3 when they killed Linux.
A variant of MMD ported to the PS3 that takes advantage of the Cell processor would be nice better physics.
Though on the PC GPGPU could do the same.
I think MMD only uses the X86 cpu for physics which is why the the physics well are glitchy as a lot of short cuts have to be done.
Kinect was conceived in America, but Japan makes the best uses for it.
DUH ~~~ KINECT IS FROM ISRAEL~!
One of few cases where a combination of both East and West resulted in so much win.
