Video Report on Gestures & Learning by Elliott Masie

Gesture Review by Joyce Chan - College Student at Skidmore

We tasked Joyce Chan, a senior at Skidmore College, who is interning with The MASIE Center, to take the Kinect system and do a weekend long experiment with her friends and roommates on campus.  Here are her impressions:

Upon getting the Xbox Kinect for the weekend, I gathered a bunch of my friends for a mini Kinect party.  Some of the feedback I got about the Kinect was that it is very convenient to use and easy to set up.  The Kinect is very interactive and realistic:

Hands - Gestures - Learning

Gestures & Learning ... That is the focus of this MASIE Center LAB blog.

Over the coming months, we will explore how gesture based interfaces - starting with the XBOX Kinect - provide affordances for learning design.

We will document our LAB experiments with current Gesture Based games and programs - as well as brainstorm future uses, challenges and design potentials.

Gesture On!
