The Xbox Kinect

This little thing has been one of the innovations that has started the process of revolutionizing a lot of things, but it has probably made the least impact on it's target area of gaming. Hackers have used this device to do anything from advance art, create 3d models, create an affordable method of 3d animation motion capture, ease up medical science, quickly advance robotry...and as of August 2011 it has only a handful of mediocre to crappy games. This thing contains three cameras that allow it to see your movements and location (including how near or far you are to it) regardless of lighting conditions as well as an array of microphones that allow for accurate voice recognition. It recognizes your movements and as a result doesn't require a controller, but needs a lot more space than your average bedroom or living rom can provide.
