Very Cool: Five of the most impressive Kinect hacks (Wired UK)

Controlling Windows 7

Developer Wolfgang Herfurtner has used Kinect to control various elements of Windows 7. A video shows him whizzing around and zooming into a 3D game world just by making intuitive gestures. Then he navigates his desktop without a mouse, and interacts with photographs - pinching and zooming and moving - like Microsoft Surface, just without the Surface.

Finally, he writes out the word "Hello", just by flicking his finger in mid air. The on-screen representation is crazily accurate, replicating his finger movements perfectly.
