The Kinect Hacked to Enable Multi-Touch on the PC

I’m starting to think hackers are having more fun with the Kinect than gamers are. Here’s yet another Kinect hack, this time enabling Microsoft’s sensor bar to act as a multi-touch peripheral…on the PC.

If Microsoft finally chooses the Kinect as the thing that they support for more than three months after launch, it’s likely we’d eventually see applications like this anyway, possibly paving the way for a low-cost Touch alternative.
