The arrival of the kinect has opened peoples eyes to the possibility of interactive media but it has been here a long time. Dance-tech companies have been using motion sensing and capture to enable dancers to control the performance environment for years. The main difference in using kinect is the cost and of course the depth sensor. Having said that this performance by Chris Vik is brilliant. The birth of the dancing DJ indeed.(DJs signing up for dance classes)
Chris also developed the system using kinect, Max and Live as he said “A live performance I did on June 1st @ Microsoft’s REMIX11 conference using my custom Kinect/Ableton/Max setup. I’ve moved on from just controlling a bassline, and now have it setup to a whole assortment of virtual instruments and loop them live to create entire tracks.”
