A short 2010 clip of someone playing the Xbox 360 Kinect Joy Ride racing game, with picture-in-picture footage of the player. The uploader jokes about whether the game has auto-steering.

It is cited only as a joke or passing reference in Kinect and driving threads, not as something to watch.

Are you talking about the orientation of the hand relative to your lower arm, or the position of your hand in space? An easy test is to twist your hand while moving no other part of your body. If the Kinect game tracks your hand, this should be reflected in your avatar. I suspect many games fake it in this fashion: ▶ this video edited to add: quote from someone on the Kinect Sports team: And while designers admit that, unlike Wii MotionPlus bowling, the game can't track spin based upon a twist of my wrist—instead you exaggerate the motion within the entire scope of your swing—the flexibility keeps me immersed. link
