The tech behind Kinect is nothing short of amazing. Strangely, the stuff it was made for isn't all that awesome. Yes, it's cool, but the camera's true awesomeness comes from the hacks that people have used to make it do things even Microsoft probably never intended.

Kinect is simply amazing and stunningly brilliant.  Such a fantastic bit of kit, but don't take my word for it.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect is the future...NOW!!!

See it sell Ö....

lmao, you beat me to it, I was about to post the same thing with the same title.

You mean the PS3 - It only does everything!, right?

Even Kinect!

I think you are asking for trouble with the title but the hacks vids are awesome. I've seen some before but not all.

isnt it funny that if ps3 owners buy kinect it would in turn benefit ms and hurt move sales at the same time

IRONIC ISNT IT

O and this is simply awesome

Only if you still have other OS. But all the better for kinect, this just enlargens the userbase it can sell to.

the tech is pretty cool but the applications not so much imo.

i mean, it's great and all that that one hack got kinect controlling a web browser but the interface looked slow and cumbersome.  i'll stick to my mouse and keyboard thank you very much.

Viral marketer?

Most of it looks fun for a demo but not very practical in the end. It all could benefit from a higher resolution camera.

Using it as a cheap depth sensor for robotics is really cool.
