https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy_HuORjpwU So AmigaOS4 got a nice update to Warp3d nova and Open GL. It meant the port & update to few game ports and they run a lot better now:-
this is just general footage of me trying out these titles, not the best gamer, plus minecraft not really played it much so took some figuring out what to do, lol! I also wanted to try return to castle wolfenstein but did'nt get it to work. all running on an X1000, radeon HD 7970, OS4.1fe. Thanks to the devs making this possible!
For people who dont know way before Eyetoy or Kinect was a thing, Amiga had the tool!
investigated who were the people behind it and found one of the people behind the software was Vincent John Vincent, who went on to be one of the founders of Vivid Group (now Gesturetek - http://gesturetek.com/ ). Out of this discovery I found a number of video and even a ted talk on how he started the company in 1986 to create computer interactivity using only your body, way before Eyetoy and Kinect made this kind of thing main stream.
For Amiga fans there some great quotes in here about how he thought they need industry computer costing millions to get it done, and how museum had no issues with the Amiga system for 10+ years.
