I've been following Kinect news quite a bit lately, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. It was also kind of funny how PrimeSense originally wanted to work with Apple, except Apple is too anal with their agreements, so they went to Microsoft who is much more willing in working together in allowing more freedom for the company. Either way, other than it has problems working with darker colored skin people in facial recognition, I think the way it senses people is quite innovative. Almost makes me want to buy an Xbox 360 :P

Didn't they hack it for PC as well? It would be a waste of tech to just use it on Xbox - the Kinect has a lot of potential other than just playing games on the 360.
