“Here was an opportunity to get closer to my fans,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “This was a chance to teach them how to dance in a very fun and recreational way.”

Explaining that this was his first experience with motion capture, he added, “It’s really cool to see how this works and how much detail goes into it…  I really think the technology is amazing, to be able to track your entire body. I was really blown away. I had to be a part of this.”

He views these capabilities as a “wave of the future … Kinect allows you to be a part of it.”

Usher’s upcoming album, Looking 4 Myself, will be released on June 12.
