Kinect finally fulfills its Minority Report destiny (video)
Not to denigrate the numerous fine hacks that Kinect 's undergone since its launch, but it's always nice to see the professionals come in and shake things up a little. A crew from MIT 's brain labs has put together a hand detection system on Microsoft's ultra-versatile cam, which is sophisticated enough to recognize the position of both your palms and fingers. Just as a demonstration, they've tied that good stuff up to a little picture-scrolling UI, and you won't be surprised to hear that it's the closest thing to Minority Report 's interactive gesture-based interface that we've seen yet. And it's all achieved with a freaking console peripheral . Video after the break. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
