The next time you’re playing with Kinect on the Xbox 360 try to envision a new use for the technology. That’s what other people have done, and Microsoft has embraced them and their ideas.
This is a very clever piece of advertising from Microsoft. Not only does it sell the Kinect as a device for the Xbox 360 that can be used right here, right now, it also throws to the future.
We get to see what Kinect hackers have been up to and what they could potentially do with the hardware (or an improved version of it) as we go forward. It turns the Kinect into a piece of kit that could become essential in the years ahead.
One day motion control could be used in hospitals, clinics, schools, universities, recording studios, and more besides. Not bad for a relatively cheap gadget attached to a games console.
