Critique 2 Idea Development - Kinect Interactive Puppet

I found this is interesting that could be apply in puppet show.

Two designers, Emily Gobeille and Theo Watson, have whipped up this digital puppet prototype with it. It's a 2D puppet that uses skeleton tracking on an arm to control the movement and posture of the puppet. They hacked it together in a day using open-source Kinect drivers, which is pretty cool.

Speed project - made in a day using openFrameworks and libFreenect.
