...a Full-Body DDR using silhouettes instead of a dance pad.

That just looks like too much work. This coming from a DDR player.

o.o That looks hard.

I'd be really down for that. That looks more like actual dancing than stomping your feet in four spots, despite how much fun DDR is.

This also looks like it'd need a lot of work before being released to the public, what with people being of different heights, shape, and even hairstyle might get in the way of the machine being able to sense someone correctly. Vice versa, the game might end up being too easy if they set the sensors' sensitivity down too much to compensate for body differences.
