Kinect Hacks Daily, Episode 47: Kinect taught to control XBMC through hand gestures

One of our favorite parts of Kinect, at least theoretically , was the idea of controller-free and remote-free control of the dashboard and media playbook. Sure, it’s never going to be as optimized and snappy as those tried-and-true digital buttons, but it’s a great party trick, and we’re all about the party tricks. Well, now you can get some of that gesture mojo going on with your XBMC setup — and we’re guessing eventually you’ll be able to control just about anything else you’d use basic “left, right, click” actions for navigation. Our only suggestion? Get some of that Dance Central-style menu navigation going on here. That goes for you, too, Microsoft.
