I didn't see a tutorial up for how to hack the Kinect yet, so if there already is one, I'm sorry.
First off, you need to download some stuff
Downloads:
OpenKinect contains everything you need to hook up your Kinect to your computer.
The two things that are optional are Python and Pybusb. These are HIGHLY recommended to download. If you don't already know what Python is, it's basically an extremely functional programming language. Don't get too scared when I say 'programming language', though. We won't be going too in depth with it and, like I said, is optional. The other optional thing is [bPyusb[/b]. It is basically an add-on for Python that allows it to find USB devices. In a nutshell, these two optional things will allow you to experiment with your Kinect and try to write programs for your Kinect.
To Install Python:
*Make sure you download version 2.6.6*
1. Just go to the link I gave you above (look in 'Downloads').
2. Click on the link that you need (e.g: if you have a Mac, click on the Mac download)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
3. Install it like you would any file.
4. Remember where you install it to (default place to install is 'C:\Python26')
5. Download 'PyUsb' (see 'Downloads')

6. Extract all the files in PyUsb to the same place you installed Python.

7. Open up a command prompt (open 'Run' and type in 'cmd.exe' and hit enter).

8. Once it's open, type in 'cd C:\Python26' or wherever you save Python. Just type 'cd', then wherever you saved Python.

9. Now type in 'python setup.py install'.

10. Now you should be done installing Python!
Connecting Kinect to computer:
1. Download OpenKinect (see 'Downloads' section)
2. Extract the folder anywhere you want (I extracted to desktop).
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
3. Go into the folder you just extracted. Find the file 'libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0' (NOT just 'libusb').
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
4. Now click 'bin' and then run the program 'inf wizard'.

5. Now keep clicking until you see this screen:

6. You'll see something like 'Kinect'. Click on that and hit 'Install Now'. I don't have my Kinect plugged in ATM, so mine isn't there. *Make sure to remember the Vendor ID and Product ID*
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
7. Wait for it to install. Basically what this is doing is installing a driver for the Kinect so your computer will recognize it.
8.Now that the computer can recognize it, go back to the main 'OpenKinect' folder. Find a folder named 'Kinect-Demo'. Open it and you should see an application called 'Kinect-Demo'.

9. Run this program and you should see a screen pop up that has a video display. This is what the Kinect is seeing. Like I said, I don't have my Kinect plugged into my computer ATM, so it won't work for me.
10. Congratulations! You have now successfully connected your Kinect to your computer and can now begin making programs to hack it.

Thank you for viewing this tutorial. I'm trying to add more pictures and info. I really want to start making programs to hack the Kinect, but don't know what programming language to use. If anyone knows, please message me or say below.

I'm assuming this is only for Windows. Would it be possible to write a tutorial for Mac users? I know there is open drivers for Mac but I can't find a good tutorial anywhere. Good work on this one though.
