"KinectShop" (working title), an augmented reality shopping platform for the Xbox Kinect , exploits the system's new finger-recognition technology to allow shoppers to grab items from an unlimited shelf of clothes, see how accessories look at multiple angles, and share the photos with friends on Twitter and Facebook for a quick thumbs-up or down.

More than 25 mini openFrameworks applications were created that would output graphics as postscript.
