Video I found about the current status of the hacks done on Kinect. Around 2:34 it's talking about the application of Kinect on Windows 7 (something related to the 'Kinectified' I wrote earlier). I think it's kinda cool though I'm not sure if the demo on the video is real or not. There's also the KinectBot from MIT wherein they placed a hacked Kinect on a mini robot to function as a 3D mapping environment tool. On a side note, I recently learned that the term 'hack' was an MIT slang to describe a college prank, but the Railroad Club used it to describe any puzzle-solving project undertaken with wild pleasure in mere involvement. Sounds weird but that's where the 'hacking' we know of came from.
