Not exactly, you still have to write drivers for it and I am not sure if most of the image processing takes place on board on the Kinect or its processed on the 360 itself. Now it would be a pain in the butt either way. If it is onboard, there would be a fair amount of reverse engineering and getting the drivers to work, the second way, you have to program everything your self.

I am not going the kinect route like I mentioned before.

It's already been hacked, and there are open source drivers for Linux.

You forget that David prefers to create things himself. He'll create his own drivers just as soon as he finishes converting sand into processors.
