Finishing off their complete about-face from the launch of the Kinect (It's locked! It's secure! It's unhackable!), Microsoft is publishing an official SDK for the Kinect, making it far easier for third party people to develop programs that use it. Very cool!
"While Microsoft plans to release a commercial version at a later date, this SDK will be a starter kit to make it simpler for the academic research and enthusiast communities to create rich natural user interfaces using Kinect technology. The SDK will give users access to deep Kinect system information such as audio, system application-programming interfaces, and direct control of the Kinect sensor."
