Now that's actually kinda amazing!

 
While there's perceptible input lag, the precision is pretty darn amazing. Now if only MS wouldn't have stripped the hardware from a quality camera and the onboard chipset, it might actually have turned out great for core games. Still hope we'll gonna see stuff like headtracking in FPS games and vehicle simulations (or Battlefield, which is both...). Anyways, enjoy the vid.
 
  
  
The video is from Kinecthacks.net. I found it via Leakerz.net. There's more crazy Kinect stuff to be found at Kinecthacks.net. Check it out!

Microsoft should really embrace what the developer community are doing with Kinect - there's so much potential there. 
Hopefully this means game developers are having just as much fun playing around with it and we'll be seeing some interesting uses in games soon enough - I'm particularly interested in augmenting existing controllers with headtracking, etc.
