Blitz, an interactive marketing agency, has released its source code and scripts for a Kinect mod that outputs data compatible with Flash, HTML, Unity and Microsoft Silverlight. The company, which helped launch Halo: Waypoint with Microsoft and 343 Industries, explains that the device's standard C++ programming language was too limited for budding Kinect hackers.

Has Anybody Downloaded The Kinect PC SDK Yet?

One of the most exciting things about Microsoft’s Kinect gaming peripheral (aside form Dance Central) is the awesome ways that hackers took it and used it to create really interesting and new user interfaces for engaging with technology. And now that Microsoft has officially launched an SDK that lets users create their own apps using the Kinect camera, we’re wondering if any of you have downloaded it yet. 

It’s an amazing technology that opens up the doors for lots of future applications, many of which are likely to be created by people playing around with this SDK.

If you have downloaded it, tell us what you think in the comments below. What are you planning to do with it – will you be trying to create something amazing, or just stuffing around for laughs?
