Hi guys! I want to tell you some exciting news. Thanks to the ESUG Innovation Technology Awards we've been able to buy ourselves a Microsoft Kinect. We don't have a Xbox 360 yet, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it. Who needs and Xbox if you can use Kinect with Etoys? :)

After seeing Stephen Howell's great work using Kinect with Scratch, we followed his steps and made it available for Etoys as well. See it for yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnqqaHvbeqg

You can find installation steps in our blog: http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira
