Adafruit Industries offered a prize of US$2000 for the first open-source driver for Microsoft's Kinect motion control camera system.

Just days after the wager from the MIT graduate company two other MIT grads have won the prize.

"It's amazing hardware that shouldn't just be locked up for Xbox 360," Adafruit member Phillip told CNET. "Its 'radar camera' being able to get video and distance as a sensor input from commodity hardware is huge."

You can see video of the hack in operation on the NUI community forum.
