This is the same guy that made the awesome wiimote 3d goggles (TED talk here: http://www.ted.com/talks/johnny_lee_demos_wii_remote_hacks.h... )

EDIT: Added TED talk link.

He was hired by MS and worked on the Kinect team afterwards.

Johnny Lee has put together and shared some amazing work. I remember really enjoying his Procrastineering articles.

He was my hero back when I was in grad school.

I could never figure out how he funded his experimentation. I had to beg for 50' ethernet cables (unsuccessfully, I might add). A set of wiimotes would have been completely out of the question. Maybe they got better stipends at CMU and he bought his gear on his own dime.
