Only days after its' launch, the Xbox Kinect has already been hacked. An MIT student has now hacked the Kinect to create a robot that could theoretically be used in disaster situations to help find people that are trapped and follow their directions. It can even create a 3D map of its' surroundings, which could then be used to guide a swarm of other robots to perform search-and-rescue missions.



Just imagine being rescued by "the swarm".

Never thought I'd see the day Matress would advertise a Microsoft product. Shame on you.

Note that i'm not advertising the Kinect. I'm advertising the fact that it's been hacked. Hehe.
