We've reported before on how the Xbox Kinect was used in the health care industry and now it looks like thanks to a hacked Kinect, it has managed to find its way to an archaeological survey in Jordan which will be conducted by students from the University of California, San Diego. The Kinect will be used in place of the more expensive LIDAR imaging system which is typically used in such studies. Instead, it seems that the hacked Kinect will be able to perform high-quality 3D scanning which will help to record accurate positional details.
