The control programs have been used to create control systems for a bipedal robot and a visual recognition system for a robot that works even when the machine is distracted by flashing lights and shadows.
Antonio Criminsi of the Machine Learning and Perception group - the team which in effect invented the visual recognition system of Kinect - demonstrated how Kinect's underlying technology can be adapted for medical diagnosis.
Another way that man-machine framework applications succeed is by presenting distilled information to people so that our visual intelligence can become active.
