Ubisoft is launching a new fitness game called Shape Up exclusively on Xbox One that will hopefully get you into better shape. The game uses Kinect's camera tech to project the user into the game, sort of like bringing a user into a virtual world. This way, Kinect isn't staring and leering at you in the hopes of making you feel guilty about being a couch potato.
"Using the Kinect camera, players will have a head to toe image of themselves projected into the game which will aid in keeping track of their workouts and calories burned each session," Ubisoft said.
"Workouts can be mundane so it was a real challenge to adapt all of these crazy activities into exercises that are truly effective," said the Creative Director of Shape Up, Charles Huteau. "Shape Up is set to revolutionize fitness games by proving that the more fun you have while working out, the longer you'll stick with it to achieve better results."
The game is coming November 2014.
