Why the Kinect V2 can't "see" ghosts

Here's an in-depth look at the circuitry and operation of the Kinect version two with a special emphasis on why it is unlikely to generate the "ghostly" stick figures that sometimes arise when the earlier version of the Kinect generates views of inanimate objects.

Thanks!!! I now know which camera you can hunt ghosts with now!!

[@millanferende6723]

Everybody knows you need Thermal cameras to capture ghosts though... as they would appear as cold spots. 😉

[@the_one_and_carpool]

@@millanferende6723 bs why assume they are cold

[@spotoncam3640]

But why do those unexplained figures are seen moving around or responding to questions ?

[@the_one_and_carpool]

voiced over the original video to make you think its real

[@Paygelove]

I saw a man be pushed by one of these stick figures.. literally fell over

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

Nobody could ever fake such a thing, that's for sure.

[@jublywubly]

I saw that video recently. I've been watching their channel for a while now. In his videos, there aren't any items in the way that would cause the stick figures to appear and there aren't any dots, like the generation one Kinect projected, so it must be a later version of Kinect.
His videos may be faked, but I'm yet to work out how.

[@jackjjs166]

When I was dossing around with my Kinect I check the camera on setting so I can see me and what’s around me and it said there was a guest behind me I immediately turned off my Xbox haha

[@Ramlig007]

There is always!

[@davegivens4804]

I hunt ghosts can you explain if its on a tripod looking down a empty hallway why the figures showed up?

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

7:12 specifically, but they also specified how the sensor works and how it draws a figure onto the scene in general, making it fundamentally flawed, and that movement makes it worse, or, easier to achieve "ghostly apparitions"

Muchas gracias por la explicación! Excelente video! Quería saber por qué algunas de las figuras humanoides (fantasmas) en espacios abiertos, sin la cámara en movimiento, ellos reaccionan y accionan (por ejemplo, mover un brazo o tratar de agarrar al "humano")? Cuál podría ser la explicación? Muchas gracias,

[@tongteeratas3167]

Thanks for information.

[@mephistosmemoirs]

Good assumption. But how do you explain the ghost figures waving with a hand when asked to wave a hand.

[@lachousalle31]

At least some of the videos are probably faked with an actual person doing it. The others, I have no idea, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're ghosts. Even in a hypothetical situation where it would be some being not from this world(which is already a pretty big logical leap), what makes you say it's dead people? Why not aliens? Why not other living humans in a parallel universe? It's because people have confirmation bias when it comes trying to prove that an afterlife exists. We don't want to believe death is the end so we try and find confirm what we already want to believe instead of being unbiased and looking for the truth with the scientific method. Look... I want to believe too and there's nothing wrong with having hope, but ghost hunting devices are pseudoscientific.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

Confirmation bias and coincidence. You want to believe the kinect is capturing a ghost, and not malfunctioning. Starting from there, you're likely to assume that if the "hand" or "arm" moves, it must be waving. If you ask it to wave over and over again, you're bound to get it to "wave" at you, when it's just a coincidence.

@@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage I wonder why RUclips hid your comment 🤔

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

@@ElevatorWasher5000 Don't know. Same reason why I don't know how you're able to respond to it if it's hidden.

[@sven_helder]

I don't believe in ghosts. I perceive them. That's my gift that I was born with. So I debunk this video, because every digital camera can pick up a paranormal thing. Just like an Thermal Camera, Kinect Camera, Mobile Camera and Normal Camera. Even humans can, only if they are paranormal gifted like I am.

[@sven_helder]

@@sinfulgaming1619 Not called mentally ill. You don't know me. We have equipment for ghost hunting, are those equipment also ill? I don't think so, since the equipment gives answers to the questions I give to those spirits, they will respond in any way or form, like the K2 meter (EMF or Electro magnetic fields)
Research a little bit more before u say something out loud. ;)

[@trilli7914]

Do you communicate with them

[@sven_helder]

@@trilli7914 yes, even without equipment.

[@trilli7914]

@@sven_helder have they explained what the spirit world is like or do you know how it works ? Are they friendly ? Is it just souls, or are they demons and stuff

[@sven_helder]

@@trilli7914 well.. demons exist. I mean not demons, just bad spirits yeah

Was a youtube video of 360 kinect a ghost was playing a kinect game

[@hansdampf5127]

Great video

[@mssm4016]

Podrian hacer la explicacion por escrito en castellano? Muchas gracias! Es excelente

[@Uncle-Albert]

No it's just a stick man.
Nothing paranormal

[@getsomev35]

Still trying to dismiss the spirit realm by fixing mistakes that were made. 😂 now people know which tech is needed.
