SQL Kinection – Control SQL Server 2012 with gestures using Microsoft Kinect!

Sachin Patney and Aswath Krishnan from the SQL Server Engineering Team demonstrate SQL Kinection, an experimental project that allows you to control SQL Server 2012 with gestures using Microsoft Kinect. Watch as they create new databases and tables, conduct backups, drop databases, create Availability Groups, and perform manual fail overs — all by using gestures! This experimental project was on display at the PASS Summit 2011 for attendees to try out. We quickly shot this video to give those of you who didn’t attend PASS Summit 2011 to see this project in action. Enjoy!

And yes, you can “kick your arms” as well as your legs — you heard it here first!
