Quite interesting things going on right now, which people hacking the MS Kinect like crazy.

What I find most interesting is the prospect of having a really cheap mo-cap solution... and it seems like this is starting to happen:

It's really amazing to see what people do with the Kinect.

The irony is that (afaik) Kinect still doesn't work under Windows, but some people managed to create open-source realization of drivers And that's really amazing.
