Is Kinect the new tool to provide a high quality education? as every thing in life, it depends on the perspective and the quality of products created with Kinect.
Let me start with an example. If you create the best educational software, no matter how good is it, if nobody plays with it, it is useful. In the other hand, if you create a crap education software, with a great distribution, a lot of people will be playing it, but sooner or later no one will use it. Thats why it is important not only to have a great distribution or visibility, it is also important to have a high impact, high quality educational software, a great educational software/game cannot live without any of the 2 characteristics mentioned above.
Now, lets talk about kinect. Is this device the new solution for education software? I think, kinect is the best tool we had have in years, this tiny device allow us (developers) to create amazing software, with not only quality content, also with activity and great interactions.
When a child uses his whole body to interact with an educational software, everything becomes easy, learn is now an interactive activity that eliminates the pasive role of student, now the student is part of the learning process.
Now, Im working in our first education sofware that use Kinect as a main interface between students and content. Soon I will be sharing with you, the first demo.
Cheers.
