Playing Mario With Kinect

Here is a video of a guy playing Mario using Kinect as the controller.

"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 of Kinect. Of course, Mario isn't designed to be played like this, so this is really really hard."

After noticing how old this video is I wasn't sure if I should bother posting it or not, but I considered it to be geeky enough.

First Person Mario

 Here is an awesome video of a Mario level set in first person made by the popular freddiew.

"What Mario would look like if it was a sweet next-gen first person shooter!

After not touching 3dsMax since the mailboxes in Jedi Assholes, Brandon decided to get his 3d chops back. We've been working on this in the background for the last three weeks. Don't expect full 3d movies on a weekly basis, it took over 60 hours to render this beast out!"
