[Bf-education] Blender and Kinect

[Matt Howarth]

hi

it does sound like a great idea. I'm working with The Backstage Academy 
in the UK and one of the things I aim to develop with them is a 
real-time kinect interface to use it to help create real-time graphics 
for live performance.

Mail me directly if you'd like to discuss a collaboration further.

cheers
