Kinect Has Been Hacked to Work on Windows 7

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/09/2010 01:09 PM | source: | 0 comment(s)

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."
