Mike Pelletier - who created, among other things, CuteXDoom (2009) with Anita Fontaine (an impressive series of art game mods based on Unreal Tournament 3) - has produced the most amazing Kinect-based art I have seen so far. These portraits make full use of the 3D scanning capabilities of Microsoft's cam.
