Deepak Chopra - made an Xbox game?

**Dark_Merlin** · 02-08-2012 10:03 AM

I don't quite know how many here would be familiar with Deepak Chopra - renowned motivational speaker and spiritualist - I've heard my father always talk about how wonderful this guy is and I've been planning to read many of his books. Just now online though, I noticed an ad for this game, Leela and saw the name Deepak Chopra and thought 'What?'

Deepak Chopra's Leela™

From the video I gather that it's some sort of system to act as somewhat of a guided meditation - helping people learn how to meditate properly and monitoring your body with the kinect camera on the Xbox. To me, this sounds like a great idea and the ability of the kinect to allow you to interact with the game without a controller makes this possible where it hasn't been before.

I'm honestly interested and I might see if I can pick up a kinect sensor somewhere along the line and try this out, what do you think, DV?

Once I was invited to a private talk with Deepak Chopra. There were about 30 people present and I remember thinking that he has changed a lot as he didn't look much like his photos. It was a very interesting talk. A few days later the lady who owned the healing centre, where the talk was held, notified me that the man was an imposter

That videogame is genius. If it works it's a ingenious way to connect technology and spirituality.

Wtf? No one realized this? I feel like I know his voice really well. That's very strange.

Anyways, this is interesting...I'll have to check it out when I have more time.

I really like that guy. The video game seems...interesting.

Definitely interesting.

And I'd be surprised if too many of us here don't know of Deepak Chopra.

I loled buckets.

This will either be a disastor of epic proportions or will be an excellent and fun meditation tool. I'd be curious to know how accurate the sensor is. I think the kinect uses infra-red so I'm guessing it would be able to track a charging "chakra" by a localised hotspot in the body in which case that would be seriously awesome. The sad news is due to the target market for this, I doubt that its going to contain anything remotely resembling detail or rigour but one can dream...
