The Kinect may be divisive as a gaming peripheral, but I think we can all agree that a $150 off-the-shelf depth-aware camera system is a good thing. And just in the week since the device launched, people have already come up with some crazy applications for it. This video is absolutely nuts.

As you can see, it’s essentially the “photographic” video stream mapped onto the “depth” video stream, and while there’s certainly a little weirdness to it, it is blowing my freakin mind.

The craziness begins around 0:35, but come on, it’s Sunday, there’s no need to skip over 35 seconds of video.
