Microsoft Kinect opens up

Microsoft Kinect is Microsoft's controller free gaming and entertainment experienced. I think most of you must have watched the movie Iron Man. Like in that movie Kinect enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. This may later be supported in Windows 8.

And now this revolutionary Kinect has been opened up or precisely saying hacked. Drivers for Kinect to be used in other platforms supplying open source software has been developed within just hours after it's release. At Microsoft threatened with legal action. Because of two main reasons. One, the Microsoft's lawyers understood that it is not a good idea to take legal action because of the fact that the hardware was not altered. The second thing is that this might turn out to be a goldmine for them.

This opens up a whole new level of possibilities. Developers are coming up with loads of ideas and its gonna be one heck of possibilities. Now brace in for the next generation gaming and entertainment experience.
