A thousand boyhood dreams come true

Kinect can be used to create art but what about music? Yep, that too, with this Kinect piano hack letting players tickle the ivories with no keyboard required.
As well as being able to project a piano onto a desk it can also be used to create enormous keyboards on the floor, not unlike the classic scene from Big. This is another application with interesting potential, though there's relatively little that could be done with it in games, unless players have enormous warehouses to dance around in.
Only thing Kinect has not been used in is casino games. Altho playing roulette can be highly physical, no practical solution has been found yet. Even Finnish casinos, that offer cutting edge tech from games to no registration -method, have not implemented this yet. Maybe in coming years?
