Microsoft is looking for help developing applications for the home computer using the Kinect. They have the hardware interface designed, but one article I read that I can’t find now suggested that they needed help coming up with ways to use the Kinect as a human machine interface. So they’re offering start ups support if they’re going to be developing new ways to use the Kinect in the PC environment.
I would just like to say… Neuromancer much? Build the fucking deck! And a wet jack. We’re already living in the dystopian corporate culture Gibson so bleakly predicted in Neuromancer, we might as well get the fucking tech that goes with it.
