Student project makes use of Kinect and Windows Phone to teach
cultural norms Ro Ramtohul is a student, studying at the
University of Dundee, Scotland, who has been working on a
project called "reculture" for the final year of his course
(Digital Interaction Design), and it involves a Windows Phone.
Those who primarily reside in the West (or share the same
stereotypical ignorance towards foreign cultures as the British)
are being targeted by Ramtohul for some interactive education.
The project, as can be witnessed in the above video, is a
Windows Phone app that works with the Kinect for Xbox 360, much
like we've seen with previous concepts. As opposed to learning
the language, or reading blocks of tedious text, Ramtohul's work
will have the user engage physically using gestures. The Windows
Phone app will compliment the Kinect by acting as a type of
'instruction manual'. Users are alerted by a notification when
they're in the proximity of the Kinect and can watch a small
video within the mobile app illustrati
