This is a great landing page as well. Good messaging, clean design, etc. So if there isn't a browser plugin, how does the js get the kinect data?

We like that you like the design. A small package is installed which sits in the background. If a web app is using the JS library/SDK, then it will work in any modern browser.

Yes, I am waiting for one.

We are working on a Mac simulator. It will work exactly the same way as the Windows Kinesis Simulator.

Sounds great! It was a pain running Windows on a VM. :( Is there a way I could keep myself posted about this!?

If you have registered for early access, the Mac simulator will be in your inbox very soon. Or you can get updates via twitter @kinesisio

Right, but how does the background app communicate with the js library without a browser plugin?
