Oliver Kreylos from UC Davis has built on the hacked Kinect drivers that was released last week. His work is truly amazing and it demonstrates just the start of the possibilities of the Kinect. I can see companies spinning out some new products that build a device that relies on the Kinect as the main data acquisition portion. Just imagine placing someone on a chair and give them a spin in front of the Kinect, with a bit of software magic and a laptop you now could have a 3D full color representation of that person with a cheap Kinect doing all of the heavy lifting.
