mbed tank controlled by Kinect!
Looks like someone has a Kinect capturing the input to control a wireless mbed tank!
The tank is controlled over bluetooth using the mbed USB Host interface to connect to a cheap bluetooth dongle. Here is the same robot being controlled by a playstation controller:
What next? Perhaps a physical computer game?

Seem to be the same idea of my PSoC5 project: www.cypress.com/?id=3312&conID=19 But the advantage to control and monitoring through mobile phone or PC is much better than to control by expensive joystick which you must have. And also the utilization of Bluetooth over USB on mbed is not reliable and slow. The cost for mbed + USB stick is > £40 pounds, while dedicated Bluetooth modules plus cheap microcontroller is less than £20. But for experimentation this demo is ok but again not practical for production.
