Jean-Christophe Naour uses the motion-sensing gaming platform to paint with light, using his whole body:

I’ve had a somewhat similar idea: use the gyroscope a smartphone (or multiple phones) to capture a person’s gestures in space, then use the resulting paths to do 3D painting & animation. That work could happen on the phone itself, or the paths could be imported into After Effects & other apps (think MotionSketch.next.), or even run interactively in Flash, WebGL, etc. Maybe the idea’s too esoteric to have legs, but I’d love to see it tried.
I like the idea.
After the 3D gestures are captured they could be returned to a concrete form via 3D printing/fabrication. Take multiple gestures in the digital environment and one could combine them, then go out to a 3D printing or fabrication process.
How about a “gesture” totem pole or mobile. One could literally take dance and turn it into sculpture.
And the cynic in me says all we’d see is a lot of digital middle fingers.
Sigh.
