The term 'hack' is really starting to lose its meaning.

Lol yeah considering that MS did or is planning to release the SDK for Kinect for the PC. I believe their Robotics Studio now has Kinect support as well.

So wait... you're telling me a game controller was hacked to play games? Surely this is some sort of witchcraft....

It's not just any controller. And kinnect is a camera not really a controller is it? Anyhow it's what they made it do that is so neat. Play such an old game. That would of been so cool in the 80's.

It's a camera designed to be used as a game controller. They've used it... to control a game.

Really, there's been far cooler stuff done with the Kinect than feeding a game left/right/jump info.

We had the U-Force back then and it was stupid, too.

Because it never worked right. Uforce was a design flaw.

[mtshark7]

EDIT:

Hah, who told you that? It worked exactly as it was designed to work. It was just a lame idea.

[+FujiSkunk]

It's not a hack, but it's still a novel concept and it made for a neat demonstration. Lighten up, all you Francises.

One mans trash is another mans treasure. Just because you thought it was lame doesn't mean everyone thought the same.

Kind of cool, from the "because I can" perspective, not really practical though. Motion controls are ok, but I still prefer a controller.

pretty awesome

Yes, everyone thought the same. Did you not just write "it never worked right. Uforce was a design flaw" just a few posts up?
