What if you combined a prototype Windows 8 tablet (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/13/windows-8-for-tablets-hands-on-preview/), an electric skateboard and Microsoft's Kinect (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kinect/)? Funnily enough, the folks at Chaotic Moon Studios wondered the same, and they didn't stop there. Here at CES 2012, the outfit showcased a downright amazing wheeled machine, capable of reaching speeds as high as 32mph. It's being labeled the Board of Awesomeness, but frankly, that's an understatement. The company's calling this the world's first Xbox Kinect-controlled skateboard, utilizing video recognition, speech recognition, gesture recognition, localization data, accelerometer data, and other factors to determine what the user wants to do. Enough chatter -- head on past the break to see this thing in action.
