Part 1: Example code for how to grab Kinect observations, do multi-threading, convert range data to a 3D point cloud and render in real-time. More info here.
TuioKinect tracks simple hand gestures using the Kinect controller and sends control data based on the TUIO protocol. This is a preliminary proof of concept implementation, which still needs several improvements to become fully usable. Nevertheless it should work out of the box with most TUIO client applications. You can download the source code and a mac binary from its page
The Therenect is a virtual Theremin, which defines two virtual antenna points that allow controlling the pitch and volume of a simple oscillator. The distance to these points can be controlled by freely moving the hand in three dimensions or by reshaping the hand, which allows gestures that should be quite similar to playing an actual Theremin.

MikuMikuDance is a free dance simulator that uses takes its own file format for 3d human characters, and performs a dance with it by editing the position of "bones" inside the model, frame by frame
It is a companion program to a nonfree singing text-to-speech program called Vocaloid
The later versions can match the 3d animated character's position to Kinect motion data
