I just wonder if EVE will use Kinect for Windows. It would be great to control our ships in battle with hands waving above the keyboard. Or handle the items or deal with the market orders like in Minority Report.

Cheers,

I highly doubt that the devs will implement an entirely new control system just because "it would look cool", especially when said control system would be very limited compared to the current system.

However, if you really do want to use Kinect so badly, I would suggest you download the SDK and make it work yourself. All you need is a program that can run in the background and take signals from the Kinect and send the keystrokes to Eve to perform actions.

But don't expect the devs to spend so much time on an interface that probably only 10% of people in Eve have and only 0.1% of those would likely use it for more than the first hour.
