Kinect work on the PlayStation 3 - TechSpot hacked

Hacker Shantanu Goel has its Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect work with the Sony PlayStation 3 accessories. He achieved the feat by connecting the Kinect with his laptop, drivers running Prime sense's Kinect (as also the OpenNI libraries and the NITE libraries). The movement is converted into raw tracking data and PS3 compatible data on the DIYPS3Controller again.

The result is in the position that use Kinect, to control your PS3 through your PC, even if it is very shaky, as the information in the form of normal PS3 controller are sent movements. The hack is in a very early stage of development, but it shows that in any case, that is possible.

"Now, of course, Kinect works with PS3 obviously but then if we can not the rules against, we can at least turn it a little on our way," Goel said in a statement. "I've created a mashup you can use as an input controller for the PS3 Kinect." Please note that the pre alpha quality software is up to date. I have not updated to a lot of the final code for the following libraries and also not the most of the performance/feature improvements have done. The axis special needs performance much tweaking and it works well just sit. Implementing this as a proof of concept. "

Here is his current to do list:

Full menu and game ProfilesSkeletal tracking for better game ProfilesSwitching back to menu sections of game ProfilesEasier way to custom user profiles instead of profile modifying code for the Sami performance improvement for game specify

We are questions, if anyone has tried the PlayStation move work on an Xbox 360, or if it is not even bother value. If you have a PS3, this hack excited with the potential opportunities you will?
