As Kinect hacks go, this one's not going to bowl you over with its technical complexity, but the effect of what it does is quite dramatic. One of Microsoft's sensor-rich, camera-laden Xbox accessories has been repurposed to communicate with a Pufferfish spherical projection display -- via the magic of WPF and openni -- with its motion tracking algorithms serving to control the image on the giant ball. Naturally, the first thing the tweakers behind this mod thought up was a Tolkien-inspired eye that follows people around the room. Sadly, the single Kinect box isn't enough to provide 360-degree coverage, but it's probably just a matter of time until they splice an array of them together and creep us out completely.

Where's the pufferfish.
I wanted to see a pufferfish playing Kinect.
:colbert:
All I saw was "Kinect meets a Pufferfish"
I want a giant red one on top of my house.
Kinect is better used with a PC, not an XBox
Those pufferfish displays are awesome! Image one of those with some form of multitouch input, would be sweet.
They should totally have made it look like the eye of Sauron.

That would have been way too awesome.
Some dude who lives here just ordered a big shipment of these.

Just run around it a few times, and it should leave you alone.
Next stop: They put this in malls with a face on it that can talk to passers-by

Fixed
Couldn't you make it seem as if a little dead girl is in the center and starring at you everywhere you go? That's what I would do, not some stupid eye.
