Last week, IxD2 students were introduced to Kinect and the Kinect SDK package from Microsoft during the Experience Prototyping course. Kinect opens the door to new ways to work with the sensor, beyond gaming and the Xbox environment. The sensor is truly an amazing piece of technology, at a super affordable price. It opens a lot of new ways for us humans to interact with the digital world. Many hackers and enthusiasts have been very quick to make use of Kinect in novel ways. As full PC support and libraries are made available for the global community, I’m sure we’ll see tons of clever use for it. Here is a recent video released by Microsoft, and I believe this is just the beginning.
