The Kinect won't be the only type of hardware that we're going to be listening to. In the future it would be nice to be able to support plugins that add functionality for listening to a new piece of hardware via some SDK. The Omni, HTC Vive or another motion capture device could be supported through plugins. The jar for the plugins would just need to have a particular interface that would be required for the plugins.
