For those of us raised in typical school settings, the memory of straight-row desks with little activity is all too familiar. As we're all aware, the Kinect has the potential to evolve classrooms beyond this 18th century model of learning to a structure that's aligned with brain research and the benefits of active learning.
OpenKinect is an open community of people interested in making use of the amazing Xbox Kinect hardware with our PCs and other devices. We are working on free, open source libraries that will enable the Kinect to be used with Windows, Linux, and Mac.
