  • Sony Sells US-Based Online Game Unit 3 February 2015
    Sony sells US-based online game unit 3 February 2015 including its laptop business and Manhattan headquarters, in a bid to claw back to steady profitability after years of massive losses. Founded in 2000, New York-based Columbus Nova manages more than $15 billion in assets, through its own funds and affiliated portfolio companies, according to the statement from the company. In 2010, it bought Harmonix Music Systems, maker of Rock Band and Dance Central, from Viacom. © 2015 AFP Fans play games at Sony booth during the annual E3 video game extravaganza in Los Angeles, California, on June 10, 2014 Japan's Sony has sold its online gaming unit to a US investment firm, in a move that should free it to make titles for consoles other than PlaySation. New York investment management firm Columbus Nova has acquired Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), maker of the popular 3D fantasy multiplayer game EverQuest, the companies said in a statement on Monday. The deal—financial terms were not disclosed—will see the former Sony unit operate as an independent game development studio under the name Daybreak Game Company. Columbus Nova, based in New York, already owns the maker of the music video game Rock Band. The move will mean the renamed company can develop games for mobile devices and non-Sony consoles, such as Microsoft's Xbox, it said. EverQuest competes with the popular World Of Warcraft title.

  • A Methodology for Physical Creativity
    Suit The System To The Player: A Methodology for Physical Creativity Jane Friedhoff Parsons, The New School For Design 79 Fifth Avenue, Floor 16 New York, NY 10011 +1 (212) 229 - 8908 [email protected] ABSTRACT The PS Move, Kinect, and Wii tout their technological capabilities as evidence that they can best support intuitive, creative movements. However, games for these systems tend to use their technology to hold the player to higher standards of conformity. This style of game design can result in the player being made to 'fit' the game, rather than the other way around. It is worthwhile to explore alternatives for exertion games, as they can encourage exploration of long-dormant physical creativity in adults and potentially create coliberative experiences around the transgression of social norms. This paper synthesizes a methodology including generative outputs, multiple and simultaneous forms of exertion, minimized player tracking, irreverent metaphors, and play with social norms in order to promote. Scream 'Em Up tests this methodology and provides direction for future research. Keywords game design, physical creativity, embodied play, coliberation INTRODUCTION A major trend in console design is the development of increasingly sophisticated technology for tracking physical movement. The PS Move, Kinect, Wii, and other platforms largely eschew traditional controllers, instead asking the players to move their bodies or use their voices to interact with the system. Such systems tout their technological power as a shorthand for supporting more intuitive, more natural movement. The Kinect's marketing is emblematic of this: advertisements state, “you are the controller. […] If you have to kick, then kick, if you have to jump, then jump.

  • Kinect for Xbox 360
    MEDIA ALERT “Kinect” for Xbox 360 sets the future in motion — no controller required Microsoft reveals new ways to play that are fun and easy for everyone Sydney, Australia – June 15th – Get ready to Kinect to fun entertainment for everyone. Microsoft Corp. today capped off a two-day world premiere in Los Angeles, complete with celebrities, stunning physical dexterity and news from a galaxy far, far away, to reveal experiences that will transform living rooms in North America, beginning November 4th and will roll out to Australia and the rest of the world thereafter. Opening with a magical Cirque du Soleil performance on Sunday night attended by Hollywood’s freshest faces, Microsoft gave the transformation of home entertainment a name: Kinect for Xbox 360. Then, kicking off the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Xbox 360 today invited the world to dance, hurdle, soar and make furry friends for life — all through the magic of Kinect — no controller required. “With ‘Kinectimals*’ and ‘Kinect Sports*’, ‘Your Shape™: Fitness Evolved*’ and ‘Dance Central™*’, your living room will become a zoo, a stadium, a fitness room or a dance club. You will be in the centre of your entertainment, using the best controller ever made — you,” said Kudo Tsunoda, creative director for Microsoft Game Studios. Microsoft and LucasArts also announced that they will bring Star Wars® to Kinect in 2011. And, sprinkling a little fairy dust on Xbox 360, Disney will bring its magic as well. “Xbox LIVE is about making it simple to find the entertainment you want, with the friends you care about, wherever you are.

The goal of our study is to answer the question: can these games be an effective learning tool for the activity they sim- ulate? We use a body controlled dance game prototype which visually emulates current commercial games. Our re- search explores the player's perceptions of their own capa- bilities, their capacity to deal with a high influx of informa- tion, and their preferences regarding body-controlled video games. Our results indicate that the game-inspired interface elements alone were not a substitute for footage of a real hu- man dancer, but participants overall preferred to have access to both forms of media.

  • Fact Sheet June 2012
    Fact Sheet June 2012 What is “Dance Central 3”? The best-selling dance series game on Kinect for Xbox 360 returns this fall with “Dance Central 3.” Music and rhythm game innovator Harmonix Music Systems Inc. continues to expand on the “Dance Central” universe with electrifying new features that keep the party going, including an all-new multiplayer mode for up to eight players and the hottest, most diverse soundtrack yet, featuring songs by Usher, Cobra Starship, Gloria Gaynor, 50 Cent and many more. Dance through time. Hit the dance floor with the hottest moves you’ve always wanted to learn from the past four decades as well as current chart-toping dance hits with the game’s expanded story mode. Dancers will be up and moving through favorite dances from the past, including “The Hustle,” “Electric Slide” and “The Dougie,” and grooving to today’s top hits. Get the party started! “Dance Central 3” features an all-new “Crew Throwdown” mode, which pits two teams of up to four dancers head-to-head in a series of “Battles” and fresh mini-games to become the hottest crew on the dance floor. “Crew Throwdown” features innovative gameplay, including the freeform “Keep the Beat” mini-game, in which dancers earn points based on the rhythm of their movements, and “Make Your Move,” which challenges dancers to invent their own dance moves, then compete to see who can master a routine created on the spot. For a less-structured dance party, “Dance Central 3” also gets right into the action with a “Party” mode that keeps the beats rolling and lets players drop in and out with ease to the best songs in dance.

  • Real-Time Classification of Dance Gestures from Skeleton Animation
    Eurographics/ ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Computer Animation (2011) A. Bargteil and M. van de Panne (Editors) Real-Time Classification of Dance Gestures from Skeleton Animation Michalis Raptis1, Darko Kirovski2, Hugues Hoppe2 1University of California, Los Angeles 2Microsoft Research Abstract We present a real-time gesture classification system for skeletal wireframe motion. Its key components include an angular representation of the skeleton designed for recognition robustness under noisy input, a cascaded correlation-based classifier for multivariate time-series data, and a distance metric based on dynamic time- warping to evaluate the difference in motion between an acquired gesture and an oracle for the matching gesture. While the first and last tools are generic in nature and could be applied to any gesture-matching scenario, the classifier is conceived based on the assumption that the input motion adheres to a known, canonical time-base: a musical beat. On a benchmark comprising 28 gesture classes, hundreds of gesture instances recorded using the XBOX Kinect platform and performed by dozens of subjects for each gesture class, our classifier has an average accuracy of 96:9%, for approximately 4-second skeletal motion recordings. This accuracy is remarkable given the input noise from the real-time depth sensor. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism—Animation 1. Introduction determined set of gesture classes, and then uses the model to classify the input skeletal motion.
