It can't, which is why I'm so skeptical. If it was so easy to track a normally clothed persons body movements with a camera, then why do all those motion capture studios use those body suits with reflective/colored balls attached to the body joints?

I use TrackIR for some games I play and it does a really good job of tracking my head movement - BUT - I have to wear something on my head that either reflects or emits IR light to be tracked by the camera. If they could have done the same without me having to augment my head they would have - only they didn't - which is why this MS product just isn't going to work as they depict.
