Virtual Embodiment with Kinect

Seeing yourself move through another medium does something interesting, where you are using your body and are aware of your movements, but disembodied from them. By focusing on the digital screen, you embody the visuals on the screen instead. The technology then becomes somewhat of an extension of yourself. Using the Kinect in this way makes us think about how move with our bodies, the memory of movement and the ways in which technology can be used to amplify our experiences.
