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

.

Can’t wait to see what happens at NERD on February 19th.
