Now that the new windows Kinect SDK has been released, I was
wondering if anyone knew of any externals that have been released
for it.

But its possible then use the kinect to create a multitouch table or the only way is using the ps3 eye with a IR filter?¿

Sorry anthony but im not so sure. The first video is a tracker without backprojection in a table and the second i think that it is a grid isnt?

It's looks very impressive. I can't afford a Kinect right now but it looks solid enough.

Well, I am really looking for windows externals so that I can play
with it in Max.

Hey Anthony, Synapse isn't an external (well, other than the Jitter external for the depth image), but it does allow you to get the data to play with in Max. It sends OSC messages about the joint positions. Check this page for more info: http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/6307752257/maxmsp-jitter
