The Alchemy of Kinectites

There are some incredibly cool and innovative experiments coming out of the Kinect. There’s an wonderful spirit of alchemy here and I can’t wait to see the projects born out of and influenced from these experiments.

Creativeapplications.net summed it up eloquently here:

“With new technology come new landscapes. These may appear in the form of users, social groups, tools and work but in some kind of form they are connected, relating to one another and feeding from one another. Kinect is describing a new form of landscape, driven by arrangement of points derived from our physical environment.”
