“Obviously, once a visitor can access almost any ‘facts’ on the device they carry in their pocket, the idea that a museum should be about ‘facts’ is almost made redundant. This opens up a whole lot of possibilities for making museum exhibitions far more immersive and experiential, leaving the ‘fact’ layer for mobile and online delivery either during or before and after the gallery visit.”
Xbox Kinect TV plans to bring interactive, immersive experiences to live action television and children's books with the help of National Geographic and Sesame Street's Workshop. Xbox is unveiling a sharp idea for the next generation of television: interactive, live-action content, produced in partnership Sesame Workshop and National Geographic. I was actually working at Sesame when this idea was first introduced. Many were skeptical but I'm glad to see they are going to try and utilize this technological movement forward.
