Kinect System Turns Objects Into Human-Controlled Avatars

Why use Kinect to just control a human avatar, when your Kinect can turn all kinds of objects into avatars that you control? Using KinectFusion, these Microsoft Research researchers have made just that possible, with a system called KinEtre (LOL WUT?) Just watch.

Hat tip: Some dude in my Facebook friends' list whose name I sadly now forget. Gratitude, dude!

KinEtre... Etre is the French verb for 'to do' with its many devilish conjugations... suppose that is the reason for the name...?
