Not unexpectedly, tinkerers, gamers, roboticists and other innovators are finding a host of different ways to use Microsoft’s new Xbox 360 motion-control gaming device, “Kinect.” Much as Apple experienced an explosion of new apps after the creation of the iPhone, we can expect a similar number of advances with Kinect.
For example, I believe innovators will figure out new ways to use Kinect for physical therapy in aging service facilities; educators will use the device to make complex subjects such as chemistry and physics more easily understandable to students; and roboticists will employ the technology to figure out a plethora of new ways for people to engage and utilize robots. For a short demonstration of Kinect’s potential, I encourage you to watch the following video:
