As a follow-up to the previous blog I posted on the concept of the "every-day" consumer being able to upload/submit content through a motion capture device(in this case the XBOX360 Kinect), I found this video where a guy has hacked experimented with the Kinect and motion tracks his movements. Those movements are then transferred to a simple 2D version of himself.
Though its very basic, the motion couldn't be more dead on. Why not harness this into an installation at a bus stop, mall or theme park? Would you agree this would be a magnet for curious minds and an outlet for direct consumer interaction? I think the potential is great here to really engage customers. Plus it reminded me of this...

Nick,
Splendid little post. It's fascinating to me that the output has been around for decades (hence Gene Kelly), yet the tools today make it seem so revolutionary.
Now I must try this.
