This is really cool! Back in college I used the Kinect dev kit to build proof-of-concept special effects for live theatre as an independent study project. I used the Kinect pointed at the face of an actor off stage, ran the resulting 3D data points to some cool algorithms, and then projected the result onto a screen on stage. The idea was that, for example, in Hamlet instead of having an actor in make up play the ghost of King Hamlet, you could have this larger-than-life projection on stage.

This camera is way better quality, so it'l be neat to see the sort of projects can be done now.
