Heh, thats pretty insane. Thats a TON of dots to be coming out of one beam.

Night goggles party. You don't need a disco ball, only kinect.

I love learning random crap that I'll never use. 

Yes

I'm pretty sure that they callabrate the distance between adjacent dots, then detect movement on a 3d plane based on the distance change from the dots. But that is just my idea, I have no clue if thats true.

Sounds feasible to me!

Very cool dots!  I think it would be actually useful to have an option on set up to see the dots.  So you could figure out exactly your place space and adjust accordingly.

So you could see - hey, I could move it a little to the right, or some tall people having trouble getting seen by Kinect could see their play range.

PS I still think it should be called KinX.

Sensible. When I read somewhere else that it projected a pattern, I expected a sort of grid, but their R&D must have obviously found that a less regular dot pattern could give more advantages for their purposes, and most probably also help avoiding possible aliasing when projected on clothes coloured with straight-lined geometrical patterns, like chequered, striped, tartan, etc ...
