The first thing I thought of after trying the Kinect was the robot in the reboot Lost in Space. At one point the kid uses a VR type device to control the robot and right off hundreds of space spiders. Not so great a movie, but very cool looking piece of technology. The potential for a interesting control schemes using Kinect is just amazing.
