Kinect hacked to play portal 2

Portal 2 is a game I definitely wanted to ship with motion controls, especially since the controls are basic enough that it could be an enhancement instead of simply catering to casual gaming. Well, apparently I wasn’t the only one. Brad Cooley hacked his Kinect using the FAAST toolkit, which made it possible for him to use hand gestures to control Portal 2.
