Kinect hacked to run on PlayStation 3

[Fellow]

CrunchGear has reported this weekend that the Kinect motion control system has been hacked to run on the PlayStation 3.
In the video, the hacker connects the Kinect to his laptop, running the PrimeSense drivers.

The drivers are "then converted into raw tracking data and reconverted into PS3-compliant data via DIYPS3Controller, used (naturally) to control your PS3 via your PC. This is sent to the PS3 in the form of normal controller movements (analog stick pressure, buttons and all," says the source.

it is unclear if any games will actually be workably playable via the hack.

Hmm. Reason to get Kinect? Not really.

While this is interesting, I don't think it will lead to any interesting developments. I mean, I don't think 3rd party developers will make games for it.

Still quite interesting tho...

Homebrewers?

Stupid Kinect. Only good for its user created material...

Nothing good from actual developers.

What I really want to see is this being paired up with Move to make some ultra-powerful hybrid that will DESTROY THE WORLD!


That... or something really fun.

Let's not turn this into another "let's bash Kinect " thread, shall we?

I doubt there's going to be much homebrew development for this, it just doesn't seem very likely.
It's very interesting none the less.

Now make a real virtualboy and a plastic gun controller, then gaming will never be the same

Now...
If we can make this recognize as the PSEye, then we'll be talking.

well done by these guys, how many months? thts some good dedication. It means ppl like the kinect to make it work on different systems or that is more hackable than the rest.

This could lead to some pretty interesting homebrew. I haven't used my Kinect for like ages so I'm looking forward to whatever output comes out of this!

 

[SPH73]

It would be nice to replace the PS Eye with the Kinect Camera. That way I only have to have one camera hooked up to the top of my TV.

This is both interesting and meh to me.

However, I don't really see the point.
