The Microsoft Kinect is a pretty cool piece of gaming gear. But it could be so much more. Unfortunately, the scope to which it could expand to would never be fully realized or utilized by Microsoft seeing as how their sole focus is the Xbox experience. The developer community however, has plenty of time on their hands. Want the Kinect to work on your Mac? How about your Linux server?
