Microsoft Kinect Finally Gets Minority Report Hack, Courtesy Of MIT
We’ve been keeping an eye on Kinect hacks for all of you out there feverishly waiting for some legitimate illegitimate uses for your Kinect, but we all know what the main objective for all the Kinect tampering is. Not 3D video, not lightsabers and definitely not Minecraft or Super Mario. It’s all about doing what Tom Cruise did.

And while jumping off couches while squeezing Oprah’s hands can be fun, we were talking about what he did in that movie that’s only memorable because of its equivalent of the common PC mouse. Yes, we’ve been dreaming about hand waving as a valid method of getting stuff done on your PC since back when Tom Cruise was popular. And a team at MIT (where else?) have managed to get the Kinect to recognize all the different fingers on a human hand. We understand the hack allows detection of 6o000 points (we don’t know either, maybe it’s a high score) at 30 frames per second.
