Microsoft has been busy lately working on creating the KinectFusion, which is capable of doing real-time 3D virtualization of whatever it sees while implementing a physics engine on top of that! This is mad crazy yo! With this I could basically run around my house with the kinect and then plop Halo over top of that, which would allow me to play Halo using my own house as a map How sweet would that be. It would allow me to see my house with the blood of my enemies all over it haha.
