At the oddly named Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction Conference in Funchal, Portugal, last month, this is exactly what happened. Artist Karl D.D Willis led the Fabricate Yourself project as a ‘tangible’ way of recording the attendees at the conference.

Attendees posed in front of the Kinect Camera to have their 3D pictures taken. The photos were then transformed into a 3D puzzle with the help of a 3D printer. Take a look at the results for yourself!

A magnificent idea for the creating of wacky wallpaper!

Some of the ‘ideas’ being researched for the future are revealed in a video demonstration by Microsoft director of applied sciences Steven Bathiche. In the video he reveals the company’s ongoing work with ‘gesture-based prototypes’.

A few of the highlights include:

-          Giving players the ability to a control a hologram image   

-          Kinect-enabled head tracking display

-          The ability for two players to view two different images on the same screen, which would cut out the need for a split screen when playing in multi-player mode

While the above will not be available for use anytime soon, there looks set to be lots of advancements for Kinect lovers to be excited about in the future.

It is being hyped as one of the most eagerly anticipated games for Xbox 360 Kinect lovers, and MTV Multiplayer is pitching the game for release sometime before the end of June 2011.

The game was first unveiled at E3 last year, with reviewers appearing to fall in love with the Tetsuya Mizuguchi-conceived clone ‘Rez’. The game basically involves flying through multi-coloured cyber space destroying any baddies that come your way with the help of Kinect technology.

MTV games editor Russ Frushtrick was ‘impressed’ with what he saw of ‘Child of Eden’ and said the Kinect functionality was the ‘real star’ of the whole game!

The player uses their hand as the ‘targeting reticule’ moving it around the screen to find the target, before locking on and swiping the air to land the final blast and take out the enemy.  There are a few different weapons to choose from…one of them apparently even involves clapping!

Will you be giving this game a big round of applause?

The ‘Red Ring of Death’ is basically the appearance of three red flashing status lights when something had gone seriously wrong with your console i.e. it no longer works! The good news for some is that the ‘plague’ does not appear to be affecting the newer slimmer version of the Xbox 360, only older generation models.

techtree.com reports that following the complaints flooding into the BBC and ZDnet Blogs, the problem has been linked to ‘flawed design and poor quality components used in the Xbox 360 that involves the lead solder cracking under heat and terminating the circuit’. The problem does not appear to surface until the console has been on or used for a long time and ‘the innards are heated up due to poor ventilation’.

The plot then thickens….Microsoft obviously disagrees with this diagnosis, responding that the issue is not connected to the Kinect, but is due to the age of the existing consoles. A Microsoft spokesman explained that Kinect has been designed to work with all Xbox 360s irrelevant of their age. “There is no correlation between the three flashing lights error and Kinect,” the spokesman told techtree.com. “Any new instances of the three flashing red error lights are merely coincidental.”

Well, with 8 million Kinect owners out there….what do you all think? Have you succumbed to RRoD yet? Will Microsoft have to develop a new hi-tech injection!?!

Dr Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises has hit the game stands and you can find out how ‘old’ your brain is courtesy of the infamous Japanese neuroscientist.

Already hailed as one of the most popular releases on other game platforms, Kinect players can now carry out gentle exercises to get those brain cells pumped, while attempting more traditional mathematics and brain-teasing puzzles to sharpen your skill and acumen.

The game focuses on performing a set of daily ‘exercises’, as set out by the virtual Dr Kawashima. Your progress is then charted on a calendar every day and your ‘brain age’ regularly calculated – hopefully seeing a downward trend! Over a period of time your ‘brain age’ should fall to reveal how mentally great you are and with the ability to cope with even tougher puzzles.

After the initial test stage of the game, you will receive your ‘brain age’ and then a daily set of exercises to complete. These exercises and other mini games are explained and ‘driven’ by the Dr Kawshima avatar and Wattson the Lightbulb. You can however, just choose to play the mini-games and to play along with friends in multi-player mode.

The player performs a wide range of healthy exercises, which are based on the theme of mental puzzles and using physical actions to solve them. According to gaming news and opinion site thesixthaxis, kinect does a good job of tracking your movements and has a good level of accuracy when it comes to gauging your inputs. The only downside appears to be that you have to return to complete the same set of exercises several times before your ‘brain age’ is recalibrated and you receive a new set of exercises.
