In 2010, Microsoft released Kinect – a controller-free gaming and entertainment experience for the Xbox 360. In this new experience the body is the controller – joysticks and buttons are replaced with the users’ movements and gestures.
It turns out Kinect has many uses beyond games and entertainment. Razorfish’s Emerging Experiences team created KinectShop to demonstrate the use of the Kinect platform in a retail or at-home augmented reality shopping experience.
