Microsoft uses Kinect for 'Beamatron' virtual RC car project
Everyone loves RC cars. The idea of driving a toy car around with a remote control is fun for all ages. Now Microsoft has created a concept that is basically a high tech (and likely highly expensive) version of the RC car called Beamatron.
As described on the Next at Microsoft blog, and shown in the video above, a team at Microsoft Research has combined a Kinect motion gesture camera with a projector and placed both on a gyroscopic overhead mount. The mount is similar to what you might see in a nightclub or at a music concert, where a light moves around in all directions.
