The Kinect may not be doing all that well for the home console market, but the amount of other uses people have found for it on the PC are amazing. Below, I've provided two examples that I came across that were relevant to some of the things I enjoyed doing.
As someone who has played around with Source Filmmaker, seeing just how easy it is for the Kinect to provide motion capture that can be ported to Maya for use on 3D models, then SFM for filming is quite amazing. The video available through this link gives a better look at the process of actually getting the motion into SFM.
Garry's Mod is a game that allows the player to create their own world in a sense, using props and tools provided by content creators, and already established items provided by compatible games on Steam. Here, the creator of the game is testing live capture from the Kinect into the game world through the use of ragdolls.
