While many hardcore gamers wait on a practical use for Microsoft's Kinect sensor beyond the odd gesture and navigation based voice command, the South Korean government has found a way to put the gaming sensors to use. Along with the personnel guarding the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the military is using Kinect sensors to monitor movement at the border between the North and South, according to reports.

Even more interesting are the types of behaviors that have to be expressed by the soldiers guarding the DMZ, on both sides.
Did ya catch the soldier on the far right side of the picture? Standing at attention halfway behind a building. Silly posturing at best. Someday humans will grow past this kind of thing, or not. Either way it is kinda neat the the Kinect can do the job. Rather have it guarding the border than staring back at me at night......
