Hackers have come up with a wide variety of uses for Kinect outside of motion- and voice-controlled games, but the latest creation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Tangible Media Group might very well be among the coolest.
As demonstrated in the video below, Kinect is being used for inFORM, which is described as a dynamic shape display. In effect, Kinect can track objects (be it a person's hands and arms or the turning pages of a book) and render them physically on a display. The basic use for this in the video is remotely moving a physical ball around the display by gesturing in front of a Kinect sensor, but we also get to see shape menus used to control media and model 3D objects, among other things.
