In our second Kinect Hack Of The Day,  programmers Jan Sieber and Ralph Kistler create a brilliant "interactive installation" that uses the motion data collected by Kinect's sensors to create a game of "monkey see, monkey do" with an actual stuffed monkey.

The monkey, which is hooked up with wires in its limbs, mimics the body movements of whoever stands in front of the Kinect. By the looks of it, response time and accuracy are quite impressive.

Hear the full breakdown in an engrossing British accent in the video above.
