Kinect Sesame Street TV for Xbox 360 will get kids moving

Soho studio productions Microsoft shows new images of interactive episodes MIPCube

Microsoft showed a new demo of Sesame Street Kinect TV, an innovative interactive television that will debut on Xbox 360 later this year.

Josh Atkins, senior designer at Microsoft Productions Soho studio, showed the demo at a conference in Cannes MIPCube hearing, and explained how the company hopes to get children involved and not just looking from of their couches.

Both demos involved Sesame Street characters Cookie Monster and Count to speak with the children of your television screen, and then the reaction of your movements detected by the Kinect camera.

Here's the new demo. It shows the number of telling two children to stand still while it has in 11 - the number that day. When one is unable to resist move, react accordingly. Atkins offers an explanation:

• The show focuses on seven key actions. Jumping, throwing, shaking, beating, pointing, talking and standing
• Atkins emphasized that "participation is optional" because the kids can watch TV episodes of Sesame Street Kinect without getting up and jump. "If children want to just sit back and do not consider that a bad thing, "he said.

However, Atkins also suggested that more programs will be made with this type of interactivity. "The future of interactive television is in itself. Not just a process of sitting on the couch, put your feet up and watch your favorite show."

Microsoft has not said how the episodes will be delivered to children and their parents, or how much it will cost.
