The kinect is basically a depth sensitive web cam. Researchers at Microsoft have created a 3D video conferencing tool that includes aspects of augmented reality as well as 3D scanning.

More details here. Now the thing is that this looks a lot like a scene from Minority Report (the 2002 movie). However, while the film has 3D holographic projectors, running from a 2D source. Microsoft has 3D capture and uses a 3D projector to convince the user that they are seeing in 3D.

It goes to show the power of special effects software. There are no explosives or squibs used.
I also found this 3D video (you will need a set of red/blue glasses). I have embedded it below but the blog does not support 3D so you will see the two camera views.
