This is not only interesting because it is the first presentation software for the Kinect, but because this actually is the first commercial Kinect hack. While all the other Kinect hacks we’ve seen so far has been mainly small, homemade projects made for fun, this is a commercial software application soon for sale. Will Microsoft be okay with this? And what would they do if So touch for example started shipping Kinects and the software in “Presentation Packages”?
