Kinect hacked to change TV channels without a remote

4.5
Great stuff for all us couch potatoes. A hacker has managed to transform Kinect into a remoteless changer of channels, in his own words -"I connected my Kinect and usb-uirt to my Mac Mini. My code i integrated wit OpenNI to detect the skeleton and I've programed it to find some specific gestures. The code will then send pre-recorded IR signals to the TV to Switch it on/off and change volume and channels on my set-top box." Sorry guys, you'll still have to click read more to view the video below. No gesture control for the web just yet!
