127w ago - Just over a month ago Adafruit Industries offered and paid a bounty for an
Open Kinect Driver, and today German site VideoGamesZone.de (linked above) reports that running homebrew Kinect applications may soon be possible on PS3 via OtherOS and API
OpenNI drivers.
To quote, roughly translated: "Kinect for Xbox 360 might also operate on the PlayStation 3. Thanks to recent API OpenNI Drivers for Windows and Linux could allow PS3 consoles with older firmware with the OtherOS function also Kinect Underground.
The drivers allow access to all Kinect functions. Both the depth sensor and the audio and video capabilities of Kinect would theoretically available on the PlayStation 3.
So far, we have some Kinect videos from amateur hobbyists found, do the fun things with Kinect on the PC. Below are videos of a cool Minority Report-application and a player to come out with invisible Kinect makes.
A video to a Kinect application on the PlayStation 3 we have not found, yet."
No it won't....
...
but that's actually also the case with kinect, it doesn't really work great in a badly lit room.. hmm.. come to think of it, I wonder how the eye icm with Move will work in a badly lit room (I have a projector as 'tv' and therefore my room is only lit by the projector, but since the ball itself is lit I guess it might even work better hihi)..
Seems kinda on WIIs level when i tried it but patent infringement... what are you gonna do.
