Abstract

Within several courses we have examined the use of gaming equipment to enrich computer science courses, as gaming was, currently is and is supposed to still be a catalyst for computer engineering and software development. In this paper we particularly address the use of equipment in educational units taking Microsoft’s Kinect as an example. We sketch differ-ent course layouts and report experiences made with respect to those. Finally, we will draw some conclusions on the likely evolution of this approach and give rec-ommendations concerning the adaptation of this concept to instructors.
