I was actually there for the hackathon and got to try this out. I couldn't dodge a single bullet.

I always wanted to build one of these, never thought of using a Kinect for some reason. I've tried doing it with Arduino and the CMUcam before but it's fairly complex to implement that way.

Do you have the contact information for Conor & Jacob? Someone from the press should reach out to them and cover this story-- such a great hack!

Is there a link to the source code or blog post? Seems like this would be a great starting point to build a game on.

Couldn't find the code but here's some more info: http://mhackswinter2014.challengepost.com/submissions/20138-...

Anyway I can get one of these for the project managers in my office?

that is freaking amazing.
