If you’re like me, you’ve been itching to get under the hood of Kinect. The prospect of a true, Minority Report-like interface is too alluring to resist.
Rejoice, for the moment is at hand: PrimeSense, the company behind the Kinect 3D technology, has just released the drivers.
To give you a hint of what’s possible, here’s a randomly chosen video from Kinect Hacks.
Download the driver here: OpenNI Binaries. Documentation here: OpenNI Documentation.

It is funny because while I cannot wait to think of some great uses of Kinect, Minority Report UI is a disaster -- for comparison I can work daily 10h using classic UI, but you would get dead arm effect after half an hour of work using MR UI. I think the real promise lies in eye tracking to change/enhance the way how widgets get focus.
