Real-Time 3D People Tracking with Kinect

Here's one more example of how the Kinect can be put to good use in many other areas besides entertainment.

By using multiple Kinects, it's possible to track multiple people in 3D space, even when they overlap each other. Just watch the following video, arriving us from the École Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne in Switzerland.

Can you imagine shops using dozens of Kinects, to track everyone and analyze their paths and behavior from the moment they step inside to the moment they leave?
