Hacking Xbox Kinect—Interactive Puppet Prototype
It has been only a few short weeks since the Xbox Kinect was released, but already you can find a number of people hacking the Kinect to create really interesting experiences and prototypes. This interactive puppet prototype was put together in one day by the talented Emily Gobeille and Theo Watson of Design I/O. This Kinect prototype uses the opensource packages openFrameworks and OpenKinect.
