Hackers have wasted no time bending Kinect to their will, and this proof of concept video for a Minority Report-esque multitouch UI is probably the most exciting mod yet. Stretch to zoom, here we come!
As modder floemuc explains, “I thought I’d get the mandatory picture-browsing stuff done so it’s out of the way and everybody can focus on more interesting things.” Cheers to that. [Dvice]

Does it have the precision and respond time of a keyboard/mouse/tablet?
In other words, is it a viable replacement for keyboard/mouse/tablet? If not, what can it do better than your standard keyboard/mouse/tablet inputs, if it’s slower/more tiring/less precise?
