    Certainly a revolutionary bit of hardware, we're planning on using it for interactive installations next year. Not really sure it has many applications in gaming - maybe to supplement other controllers, for gestural GUI control etc.

    ATM Microsoft still haven't released the tools to the XNA creators club, experiments are mostly in OpenFrameworks so everyone is starting from scratch with the tech. They're only scratching the surface TBH. When someone creates a good 3d body tracking library that can control boned models we'll all be running around like Andy Serkis.
