Almost 2 years ago I worked on a project to create a real-time avatar of Air New Zealand's Airpoints Fairy. Used a Kinect to do live tracking of an actress who interacted directly with audiences (via video and audio hookups). She co-hosted an awards show and a big rugby tournament. The Kinect worked amazingly well but head tracking was a little iffy. So we strapped a smart-phone to the actress's head and used it's compass/gyroscopes to provide fine head tracking :) There is isn't a lot of footage on the web but check out: http://theflyingsocialnetwork.com/archives/1545 http://theflyingsocialnetwork.com/archives/1545
