Endless Possibilities Actors can utilize Kinect interface and Arduino platform to move physical objects on the real stage, or move virtual objects on the enlarged virtual stage. 演員可以使用Kinect界面和Arduino平臺移動實體的舞台場景﹐也可以移動虛擬的物件。 Audience can utilize Kinect interface to interact with virtual actors outside the real theatre. 觀眾也可在劇場外使用Kinect界面和虛擬的劇中人互動。 Since MicroSoft’s Kinect interface is very hot these days, the use of Kinect techology will attract younger audience. 微軟XBox360的Kinect界面最近紅火到不行﹐這會更增加年輕觀眾的興趣。
