Kinect Has Been Hacked to Work on Windows 7 - briefly
(hx) 12:13 AM CET - Nov,09 2010 - Post a comment / read (6)
Kinect, Microsoft's motion gaming accessory has been hacked--mere days after its release. Adafruit detailed that the group or individual that created an open-source driver for the new accessory would be granted the prize money. With the money on the table, hackers got to work, much to Microsoft's dismay, and in no time at all a hack surfaced. The video below shows off the work of NUI Group forum user AlexP. In the video we can see his Windows 7 PC tracking the movement of the Kinect--it's a relatively basic application, but it's a good start. Interestingly, this comes just days after open-source developer Adafruit offered a cool $2000 to the first person to bust through Kinect's locks.



Microsoft has responded accordingly, stating: "Microsoft does not condone the modification of its products. With Kinect, Microsoft built in numerous hardware and software safeguards designed to reduce the chances of product tampering. Microsoft will continue to make advances in these types of safeguards and work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant."

I hope Microsoft buries Adafruit and this useless hacker group. Useless hackers and these pathetic little freeware companies need to all disappear.

You need to disappear shit for brains99!

Microsuck are selling a hardware product, what a consumer does with it after buying should be fuck all concern of a business! Especially a megascumopoly that gets fucking shit loads of money from the public, in tax funding and exemptions! from government and its drones needing windows slop when free alternatives would be just as effective.

Not to mention outright scumbaggery business tactics used in the market place and against competitors.

Anyway well done to those involved in recreating a driver, you can bet 3d animators and some developers will be pleased with a potentially cost effective setup of motion tracking if things progress further with this.

Personally I still wouldn't buy that junk, but at least on a PC its spyware hazard-ness can be nerfed!

How could M$ be unhappy, after all they said they wanted to make PC king again right? :shock: :roll: so why didn't they make it PC compatible too and put games out for PC for it? PC will continue to be the last denominator of gaming and M$ proved it with their POS kinect or whatever that POS is called. :roll:

Power to the Modders and Hackers! Good to see people tearing things down and putting them back together just to say "it can be done".

X-Box !!

I am not sure why M$ would have a problem with this, after all they will surely sell more units if it can work on the PC.
More fool them for not implementing it on PC as well as XBox, of course it could be that they are selling a loss leader in kinect and hoping it will sell more XBox units and games to make up for lost cash.
