Kinect Can Read The Signs

The patent for Kinect has now been made publicly available and it reveals that Kinect is more than meets the eye. No it's not going to turn into a robot and try to kill you, however it WILL understand what you're saying if you can speak in sign language. Supposedly the camera will be capable of reading American Sign Language (i didn't even know there was an American version of sign language, oh how naive of me) which speaks volumes for the cameras sensitivity and may potentially bring in a new class of gamers... the educated :D... and you thought i was gonna say deaf.
