Yeah, here's a story about that: one of my sons is a researcher at Penn
State engineering some stuff for the Navy that involves position/motion
sensors. They were using a MilSpec gadget that cost hundreds of dollars, but
they replaced it with some stuff from the inside of a Wii that cost 60 cents
and worked much better. Now they (and many others) are building gadgets
based on hacking up a Kinect.
