Cool telepresence with Kinect

Netflix on Xbox 360 now supports Kinect-driven navigation.

The BBC has overcome Microsoft's wish for iPlayer to be bundled with its paid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions. The catch-up TV service on Tuesday became the latest TV app to launch in the Xbox Dashboard's app initiative, for free with no subscription requirement (announcement).

"According to the Recruit Tech website, the technologies on display in the video are all ones that already exist, albeit in early forms: Apple's new, Minority Report-esque indoor tracking device, iBeacon; the XBox application SmartGlass; Kinect; and the many applications developing within the growing field of augmented reality."

Def Jam Rapstar lets users record their own rhymes in a "freestyle" mode over tracks provided by Konami and Def Jam. The freestyle mode uses the Playstation Eye or Microsoft Kinect to record video of the performer which can then be edited to include effects for upload to Def Jam's online community. Def Jam hopes the game + community will become a breeding ground for new talent.
