10 Best Kinect Hacks So Far

The greatest thing about Kinect isn’t that it plays cool games. It’s that hackers are going nuts with the device, showing off all the cool things it can do, and putting it on YouTube. Here are the best.

The Skynet Hunter-Killer will kill us all....so long as we are between 3 to 10 ft from it.

Very cool stuff. I hadn't seen the UAV or mini-car ones.

OK I have a real question: how come some of the hacks can get Kinect to be so accurate as to detect fingers (like the piano), but we don't see that in actual games? Do they use the cpu of some PCs or it's simply a gameplay choice my MS (to make it more casual)?

TheDigitalNinja5603d ago

Most likely the move powerful cpu's.

distorted_reality5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

Is more likely a software issue. The hardware itself is fine, I think it comes down to laziness on the part of the devs so far.

edit - I stand corrected by Crankitup.

MS chose to keep the resolution of Kinect locked at half of what it can actually do. With the PC, this isn't the case because you can simply use the best resolution. The camera can see fingers like you said easier because of the added resolution. The problem with Kinect on 360 though, is that MS would have to unlock the higher resolution by firmware update. That could mean problems to the games already out. I read in a statement from MS though that it's a possibility, but they need to conduct tests.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
