Kinect powered virtual shoe fitting

At C24 we like Kinect from Microsoft. Having highlighted Kinect in retail several times we spotted this concept that takes it out of the store and into a larger public place. The world’s largest show store in a station? Could possibly be a good idea for pop up shops and potential those companies that are making the move from online to physical storefront.

Kinect, for some that might not know, is the motion-sensing accessory for the Xbox 360. The technology is quite impressive. I have one and have been using it for sports video games. My family loves its application for dance and exercise-type games.
