Windows 7, Kinect and Angry Birds potpourri smells good

There is just something about this hack that ought to make most people wonder – now why hasn’t it been thought of before? We’re looking at KinEmote hacking Windows 7 software in order to have it play nice with Kinect technology (also from Microsoft, so the process might be a wee bit easier since the same company is behind the hardware and the software) as you attempt to kill those green pigs by hurling various birds across the air – with your bare hands, of course. While it isn’t exactly a full gesture control, you will need to use a wireless controller similar to a PowerPoint clicker or wireless mouse to vent the Angry Birds’ frustrations on them piggies. To have a better idea of what we’re talking about, do enjoy the video in the extended post.
