When one trolls for patents in a patient manner, sooner or later you would come up with a gem – as tech blog Geekwire found out recently, where they managed to discover a US patent for software that relies on Kinect hardware in order to scan a potential player's body size, and based on that readings, it will form its own conclusions using the pre-programmed algorithms and restrict mature content based on the estimated age of the scanned body size. Bear in mind that height is not the be all and end all of decision making, where the Kinect sensor will be used to figure out how proportions of body parts fit into the big picture.
Ubergizmo, Kinect-based parental controls a possibility?
