From left to right. My friend Steve, brother Jon, boyfriend Kenny, and friend Beth. Beth came up with the idea to cosplay as DDR arrows. You can't really tell in the pic, but they even had X-mas lights rigged up to the arrows so they would glow. They were a hit! (May 2004)

DDR, Xbox 360 Kinect style. This is live gameplay depicted here, by the way. As you can see, you are placed in the game. The two people playing at the time I took these shots happened to be cosplayers, so at a very brief glance you might not notice that you've got live humans being edited in with the game's sprites on the fly. Of course, once you look at the image for more than a split second, you'll notice that the images of the human characters is highly pixelated (due to the low resolution of the Kinect system's cameras), but there you go. Do you want to see yourself in a DDR game or not? Cause it's the Kinect way for now or the highway.
So, you're probably quite a ways down the interstate by now, but I'll tell you how DDR Kinekt (not the official title) works, anyway. On the virtual stage are two computer-generated dancers. You try to follow their moves as best you can (presumeably memorising the dance moves so you can perform more fluidly in the future). At times, a swiping line will suddenly illuminate over the computer characters to indicate how you should move your own hands in the next few seconds, or a silohette will appear near your own sprite showing what sort of pose you should adopt in the next second or so. I say 'pose,' but everything happens very, very fast, and it's filled with upper and lower body movements. If you like DDR,or at least the dancing aspect of it, you should love this. With the old DDR, you just tried to move your feet to hit whatever arrows you saw on screen using the giant floor control pad. Sure, you could practice and rehears and integrate upper body movements to look slick, but if you were like most people, you probably just flailed around trying to hit those damn arrows. Now you can actually see on screen what the hell you're supposed to be doing *and* you actually have to do it. Of course, you'll be doing basically Japanese bara-bara moves, which, unless you're a 16-year-old girl, will make you look like an idiot, but then, how's that different from any other DDR game? Looks like tons of fun.
