YÅ« Higuchi, the developer of the MikuMikuDance program that enables users to create dancing videos of Hatsune Miku, posted a video on Sunday to demonstrate real-time motion capture of dancing via the Kinect sensor. Microsoft released Kinect last month as an add-on to its Xbox 360 console to support 3D motion-sensing in games.

Crypton Future Media originally created the virtual idol Hatsune Miku to launch its line of Vocaloid vocal song synthesis software.
