Kung-Fu Kitchen (or the “Theraplay” project) is a therapeutic game for children suffering from multiple sclerosis, brain palsy, and/or severe psycho-motor disabilities. Originally, the game used a variety of sensors (such as the Nintendo Wii-mote and a professional-grade 3D camera), but the last edition moved on to only using the Microsoft Kinect. In the game, the children take on the role of Kung-Fu apprentices, who have to appease their teacher by performing certain exercises.

The Theraplay project resulted in a number of publications, included but not limited to:
