So, the Microsoft Kinect SDK was just released! Now you can use it to create your own games and apps that use the Kinect! All you need is programming experience in C++ or C#.

... Okay, I'll admit nothing really springs to mind for me, either. But it still is interesting. Sample code is provided, it seems, so you can start there.
EDIT: For those of you curious as to what else is out there, try OpenNI. Lemme warn you and say not to build it from source using Visual C++ 2008, you don't get devenv.exe with it, and the build script expects you to have it. But don't mind me, I'm not venting...
http://www.openni.org/EDIT 2: Long story short, it looks like the build script might work with a little modification if you're building the 32-bit version, but I've had to jump through quite a few hoops to pin down those modifications. Seriously, who distributes a build script that doesn't even compile?
... Wait, don't answer that question, I already know the answer, I just don't want to hear it. Looks like it's off to the binaries for me...
