Using Kinect With Your PS3 79
baxpace writes "A tutorial posted on Shantanugoel tech blog indicates how you can use your Microsoft Kinect sensor with a PS3. As the posts suggest, the software is at a pre-alpha quality state, meaning that some libraries need to be improved in order to boost performance and features, but it's a start nonetheless."

The methodology is fairly simple. As far as I can tell, the Kinect sensor is connected to a PC running Windows, then software on the PC interprets movements captured by the sensor and translates them into controller movements, which are sent to the PS3 using diyps3controller, which emulates a PS3 controller using Bluetooth.
Pretty bloody clever but the lag must be awful.

They will threaten the author with lawsuit and confiscate all his work after he caves in, then flip it as a new feature wholly developed and owned by Sony.
