MWC 2011: Microsoft shows Kinect played with Windows Phone 7
Annoy your friends by sending a million dodgeballs at once
Microsoft has aired a short teaser trailer at MWC in Barcelona demonstrating the work done to integrate Windows Phone 7 into its motion-controller Kinect.
The trailer shows a (presumably lazy) woman on the sofa, tapping dodgeballs into Kinect Adventures while a guy desperately tries to keep up on the screen. She's tracing out the flight of the ball with her finger, and tapping new balls into existence.
It's a sign that the corporation is looking to integrate far more of its individual departments into the further development of Windows Phone 7, having already demonstrated new Office functionality for business users earlier in the day.
