Kinect Hacked To Play Max Payne, Left 4 Dead 2 30
TechieAlizay points out a post at Geekword.net about a man who hacked Microsoft's Kinect to play Max Payne.
"This hack was possible due to FAAST (a toolkit for Kinect), OpenNi/Nite and GlovePIE. Here's how the hacker describes the different control gestures: 'As you can see, the leaning left and right stuff is all there – and moving your body forward and back moves you back and forward. The reload and interact gestures are becoming pretty standard for me now, and pain killers are popped with an upward motion of the left hand. What makes this special though is the leg movements that activate bullet time. The result is bullet time diving for real! When this game hit just after the Matrix film came out, it caused a big stir – with Kinect augmentation it gets even better. The one thing that needs fixing is weapon select; this will be handled by the +/- buttons on the mote in future, I think.'"
Another video shows Kinect controlling Left 4 Dead 2. In addition to future PC support, Microsoft is reportedly working on an official SDK. Yet another recent hack of note allows a human to control a humanoid robot with an impressive level of accuracy. Just be careful if you play the Kinect boxing game; somebody might call the police.

For some reason that sentence makes me think of Joey from "Beneath a steel sky"
I know he was no android, but he changed his appearance to a welderbot, and I clearly remember that he helped steal some WD40 from a store room.
Ahh those where the days, now time to download ScummVm and relive them

Ok so we (as in humanity) wait another 100 years. but by then scientists say that if we wait another 100 we can reduce the fly time even more...
after that wait some new guy states that if we just wait 100 more years we can get there in even shorter time.
This way of thinking will leave us stranded on earth for ever because there is always a faster way of travelling just around the corner...
this reminds me of Zeno's paradoxes
