Before annoyed, now excited by Kinect hacks
Earlier Microsoft said that i would work closely with law enforcement to keep the Kinect tamper-proof. But now it reversed it stance saying it is left open for tech nerds to go ahead with their creativity.
Microsoft told CNET on November 4 that it “does not condone the modification of its products.”

Google engineer announces Cash prizes for Kool Kinect hack
Kinect is an motion-sensing camera designed for Xbox 360.
Cutts thinks the Kinect is exciting, he writes, “Before I joined Google (Google), I was a grad student interested in topics like computer vision, motion self-tracking, laser scanners–basically any neat or unusual sensing device… If I were still in grad school, I’d be incredibly excited–there’s now a $150 off-the-shelf device that provides depth plus stereo and a lot more.”
Students comes up with different ideas of using Microsoft’s Adaptive Keyboard Prototype at UIST
I think Microsoft didnt had any idea about what they can do with their adaptive keyboard prototype.
Few months ago, Microsoft with its hardware and some applied science had developed a keyboard which uses dynamic horizontal input by touch and has the ability to change its visual appearance.
