Don't get me wrong, I admire the hell out of this. But when you think about it, it's kind of sad that our civilization literally took until <i>2011</i> to get this far.
Very cool, I really enjoyed listening too BrightArc's coils play music at the San Mateo stop of the faire. Now if you could just direct the beam to where you are pointing you'd be all set :-)
I had a go on this.<p>It was awesome fun.<p>It happened on a whim - it was noticed the tesla coils were powered by audio, and we could easily get audio output from a kinect.
An original hack with great (if very geeky) humor. I'm much more interested in Kinect's application in this sort of stuff than in video games.<p>Extra points for tesla coils, too.
