We (as in Microsoft Gaming) has finally made an official announcement about some of the new products I’ve been working on.

Now I can finally share it with you all! 

One of the projects I’m working on involves non other than National Geographic: http://gizmodo.com/5851023/kids-swiping-and-leaping-around-nature-with-national-geographic-on-kinect. 

We've also launched a Sesame Street product that is very cool for Kniect for Xbox 360. The upcoming “Kinect Sesame Street TV” experience, will be on sale in the spring (2012). It is a true interactivity to the classic children’s TV show. Viewers will be invited to jump into Sesame Street and play... very fun stuff!  http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2011/oct11/10-18KinectPlayfulLearning.mspx

Xbox 360 is Transforming! 

As Frank X. Shaw , Corporate Vice President, Corporate Communications, Microsoft, posted on his blog just the other day: Easy"two-way interaction creates entirely new forms of TV entertainment, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Xbox 360."  Read more: http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_blog/archive/2011/10/18/kinect-amp-xbox-360-break-through-the-fourth-wall-with-sesame-street-amp-national-geographic.aspx

And as GREGORY FERENSTEIN writes for Fast Company: "Xbox is unveiling a sharp idea for the next generation of television: interactive, live-action content, produced in partnership Sesame Workshop and National Geographic. Downloadable, linear episodes run like a normal television show but give children opportunities to play simple games with familiar characters and don virtual costumes that mold to their bodies and play around with the show's environment. "

I’m super excited to continuing to work to produce these new kinds of experiences for our young people!  Stay tuned!
