Using Kinect to play Super Mario Bros... jump!




Body gestures are recognized and used to control Super Mario Bros running in a PC. As the author says:

Celebrating 25 years of Mario. I programmed it to recognize my motions and passed the virtual button presses to the NES emulator. I could have placed a simulated keypad right in front of me that I can press with my hands, but I thought full body gestures were more in the spirit.

And they are. The chosen gestures are more than adecuate to the game. However I cannot see me playing the difficult levels with this run, jump, run, jump, jump pattern.
