The Kinect for Windows SDK is being developed and released by Microsoft Research (MSR) in collaboration with IEB. It will be available this spring as a free download, and will give academic researchers and enthusiasts access to key pieces of the Kinect system—such as the audio technology, system application programming interfaces and direct control of the Kinect sensor itself.
Let's see what games and apps indies will make with it I'm sure they will be x100 more interesting than the official Kinect 360 games.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."

Now I'm actually interested. Similar to the wiimote, I think it's pathetic and can barely be called a controlling system. Let's see what indie guys make of it, though.

10 million Kinects have been sold making it the world's "fastest-selling consumer electronics device"! Scary..
10 fucking million? Can you believe that? 1/5 of Xbox owners have a Kinect already! WOW!

A project to control characters in Valve's Source game engine using the Kinect:
Dance Central got pwned

At Valve they have been looking into alternate or supporting control schemes for quite a while, so it's more likely than you think they will experiment with it.

After laughing at the prospect of purchasing a Kinect for research, in so doing, Professor Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos has saved researchers more than $100,000, The Minnesota Daily reports. Several Kinect devices are being used as a video monitoring system to keep an eye on children playing with toys as part of a collaboration to diagnose mental disorders such as OCD and ADD. Data from the cameras is tweaked and then given to doctors.
Quote:
"Is a $100,000 system being outsmarted by a $150 toy?" he asked. "Indeed this is the case." He also referred to its usage as a "tremendous step forwards."
The process is still being worked out. Once it's complete, the Institute of Child Development will take over and try putting it into practice.
"Something we can do three years down the line, we can do it today because of technology that was destined for the gaming industry," he said. "I don't think Microsoft has realized that [Kinect] is something that could change medicine."
Very interesting.

Coming later this spring, the Kinect for Windows SDK is a programming toolkit that will enable researchers and enthusiasts easy access to the capabilities offered by the Microsoft Kinect device connected to computers running Microsoft Windows 7.
