KInectar
Kinectar lets you use your Kinect as a MIDI controller. This tutorial from Kinectar developer (Chris Vik) will show you how to use the basic functions of Kinectar’s main page. You’ll learn how to map your hands to control features in Ableton Live.
Same technique can be used for any software that accepts MIDI (ie. VJ Software). Mac OSX support in the coming days.

Processing.org + vh screen capture + Resolume = Love
For those that have an ongoing relationship with Processing.org and use VJ mixing software (eg. Resolume Avenue) on Windows, question always stands, how to include your live running Processing sketches inside your live set?
One of the workable solutions is use of VH Screen Capure which can be added as source in Resolume which in turn can be set to select any Windowed Screen on your desktop.
