Kinect Based Whole Building Breakout

mikejuk writes with a light piece in I Programmer about a neat Kinect and gigantic projector hack. From the article:"If you remember Breakout — rows of blocks a the top of the screen and a paddle to bounce a ball into them to destroy a block — then you might not feel nostalgic about it. After all, it was a very limited sort of game. However, take one Kinect and one building and you have something quite different when you use it to create a Breakout game (http://www.i-programmer.info/news/144-graphics-and-games/2995-whole-building-breakout-game.html). The bricks, ball and paddle all projected onto an old building and the player moves from side-to-side to control the paddle. The player's position is being detected by a Kinect, is there no end to the fun you can have with this gadget. The really clever bit, and you might not notice it unless you
