Kinect enabled head-tracking previewed in Forza 4 spotlight video, turns heads (video)

Ever since Johnny Chung Lee was snatched up by Microsoft’s Project Natal team to work on Kinect, we’ve been curious to see how his Wii head-tracking skills would come to fruition on the device. This week, an Inside Xbox episode shows us how it will work with Forza 4, and the Kinect enabled head-tracking appears to run fairly smoothly compared to others we’ve seen (just try getting similar results on Gran Turismo 5 with a PlayStation Eye). There’s no word about other titles planning to make use of this new feature, but we’ll surely find out more while we’re at E3 next week, and possibly get some hands heads-on time while we’re at it.
