Chinese Kinect

[Skeithex]

As Microsoft and Sony launch their motion peripherals, Chinese companies are demoing their own motion controls. Whether it's the Tigan Youxi or the eBox, China is mixing and matching where it seems fit. Take the i-dong, for example.

According to Tech-On!, the i-dong can be used for gaming with a PC or a set-top box. It uses a USB-powered sensor unit that resembles Microsoft's Kinect device and uses a dedicated controller that looks like the PlayStation Move controller, complete with a spherical head. It is not necessary to use the controller, as the i-dong can read infrared signals, too. Instead of the dedicated controller, players use an infrared light refractor (the yellow part on the ping pong paddle below).

how the hell does the Chinese come out with these knock offs so damn quick? how are they not sued for taking these ideas from MS, Nintendo and sony?!

I have no clue. If I was Microsoft, I would try to sue them. But then again, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo rarely sue other companies.

I agree suing other people in different countries which are communist might not be so great since communist have a different point of view compared to democrats and capitalists.
