Indian enthusiast makes Kinect for PS3
An Indian tech blogger named Shantanu Goel is currently working on a project to integrate the Microsoft Kinect device with a Sony PlayStation 3 console. He is using a completely unmodified PS3 unit, so while this is still a Kinect hack, it is apparently not a PS3 hack. He has met with some success already, and has uploaded a video showing some control over the native XMB interface, as well as the PS3 exclusive game – Killzone 3.

While the overall implementation is still not very usuable, work on the project is ongoing, and apart from better skeletal tracking, his ‘to do’ list includes creating complete menu and game profiles, enabling switching between the two, and more.
