"I have an itch t' make a Kinect title for Xbox Live." that be what id Software's resident technology guru, John Carmack, told Joystiq during an interview conducted today, though he admits, "I don't even know what I'd want t' do yet."

"I can't use Kinect for our real games; there just isn't a place for our current FPSes on there," Carmack admitted. "But it be an interesting technology, 'n an Xbox Live game would be the perfect platform t' do something like that on, at about the same scale a [a game for] an iOS device."

Given that he's "spent his budget" for time away from development work on Rage on consoles 'n PC developing Rage for iOS, 'n has a multitude a other projects -- mostly research-related -- simmering, it'll probably some time before Carmack even gets t' decide exactly what he'd do for Kinect. Actually making the game be another matter altogether. Still, it be nice t' know there's an actual rocket scientist thinking about the possibilities for Microsoft's motion-control tech. Take that, mere robot makers!
