Forums - Microsoft - Coca-Cola vending machines equipped with Kinect give you free drinks

 

123Kinect

We’ve seen plenty of ways Kinect can be used for other than just playing games but, most of the times, we’re talking about serious projects. However, this time we’re looking at the ingenious way Coca-Cola is entertaining its customers.

As it turns out, Coca-Cola has equipped its vending machines in South Korea with webcams and Kinect sensors to get people dance for a free bottle of Coca-Cola.  From the video it looks like the company succeeded in gathering people around its vending machine and some were even adventurous enough to show off their dancing skills. On top of that, the video has become very popular over the internet with almost 1.5 million views (on Youtube) to this date.
