Microsoft is finally moving to embrace the growing community of tinkerers(A.k.a. Hackers) who have cooked up creative uses for its Kinect motion-sensing camera on PCs.
Within the next couple of months, the company says it plans to release a toolkit, known as a software development kit, that will allow programmers to design software for Windows 7 PCs that can exploit Kinect, a hit device from Microsoft that has so far been used to play games for the Xbox 360 console...
...The toolkit is Microsoft’s effort to jump in front of a parade of programmers that have already cobbled together their own software, without Microsoft’s permission, to make Kinect applications for PCs. A lot of these programmers have posted videos of their Kinect hacks online, including someone who transforms a stick in his hands into a Star Wars-like You must login or register to view this content. and another person who controls an animal using hand-puppet You must login or register to view this content.
“We think we’ll see a huge explosion in interest,” Mundie said. “We’ll welcome that and support it.”
Seriously why can Sony not do this!? If Microsoft can give hackers a dev kit without any problems why in the HELL can Sony not do this. Yea I know why, its because Sony doesn't care about their customers. Sony could easily make a TON of money if they were to release/charge for a dev kit, they wont do that tho.
I am now a Microsoft "fan boy" :embarrassed:

There a difference
Between full on console control and a dev kit
Also the kinect dev kit does not give you full access to the console and with recent events giving users all the stuff for the PS3 would open it up more :/
Just what you want to do yes ?
