In an update to last week’s post Making for health: Calling Boston-area makers, the folks at Microsoft New England Research & Development Center are going to lend 4 or 5 Kinects for teams to use for the challenges. This should open up some really interesting new possibilities. For inspiration, check out Kinect air guitar
, Kinect puppet show
, and Minority Report-style web surfing with Kinect
.
Can’t wait to see what happens at NERD on February 19th.

Gyms in my area are already installing these Kinects.
They’re a natural for fitness and physical therapy.
Plus with Kinect Chat, an instructor can teach multiple classes at once.
