Kinect Sesame Street TV is an "interactive TV" project released by Sesame Workshop and Microsoft on September 18, 2012.[1]
The project features Sesame Street content especially for the Xbox Kinect system, allowing players to interact and appear on-screen with various characters; including Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert, Ernie, Guy Smiley, Prairie Dawn, The Count, Abby Cadabby, Telly Monster and two new characters - Cooper, a digital Muppet character created from motion capture technology, and Paul Ball. Cooper also has two digital anthropomorphic objects as pals: Flash (a camera, used by the player to screen capture moments or objects in the episodes) and Mirror (a, well, mirror whose reflective function helps the player and Cooper play dress-up). Interactive versions of older material are included as well.
The first edition features 8 episodes, 30-minute versions of previously-aired episodes of Sesame Street from Season 42, featuring the street story and new interactive segments. The content is spread across 2 discs - labeled as "Volume 1" and "Volume 2" of "Season 1." The game additionally hosted a hub with access to classic Sesame Street clips, and seasons of Abby's Flying Fairy School and Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures.
A second season, with eight episodes (from season 42), was released January 7, 2013 on the XBOX Marketplace. New segment features of the season include "Grovercise" and "Begin It To Win It," as well as new bilingual segments with Murray Monster. These episodes were also sold and rebranded as "Sesame Street Touch & Learn TV" for Windows devices.
The OIV ("Original Interactive Video") segments featuring the Muppet characters were filmed over the course of 17 days.[2]
