Kinect Hacked!!Now what… Exploring the affordances of Microsoft Kinect David Park Suchit Dubey Tarun Chakravorty
Project outline • Finally the Microsoft Kinect is out and its hacked, software are available • We will explore what these hacks now enable us to do in terms of creativity. • Use these hacks to develop new art installations and create engaging experiences
Motivation • Kinect hacks have opened up new possibilities related to user interaction. • A new, unexplored area has been introduced by the Kinect, gestures involving the entire human body.
Methodology • Use Microsoft Kinect to create interactive art installation. • Single person interactions in museum or galleries with the installations. • Generate scenarios, develop the system, get user feedback and the iterate the system.

Outcome • Study of the possibilities available through Kinect hacks. • Exploration of various methods of interaction using gestures and body movements to create art pieces. • Figure the challenges involved in motivating users to perform such interactions. • Implement the aforementioned ideas.
