Microsoft’s motion control peripheral Kinect only released yesterday, but like with the Wii’s sensor bar, people are already finding neat things to do with Kinect other than use it. Videos have been popping up on YouTube showing that when one turns on Kinect and views the surrounding room with night vision goggles, all of Kinect’s tiny little sensor lights blanket everything within the peripheral’s range.

Why would random gamers have night vision goggles sitting around, one may ask? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 went a little overboard with a special edition of the game and included fully functional night vision goggles in the set. It’s not because gamers need to see the television in the dark while they play games like you were thinking. Televisions light up all on their own.
