Submission + - Microsoft Kinect Tech May Move to PCs & TVs
adeelarshad82 writes: As most of us probably already know that the technology which drives Microsoft's Kinect (AKA Project Natal) wasn't really invented by Microsoft itself, instead was the brainchild of a little-known Tel-Aviv-based company, PrimeSense. As impressive as Kinect is, according to Ohad Shvueli, PrimeSense's vice president of sales and marketing, the buck doesn't stop here. Shvueli claims the possibilities are limitless. PrimeSense is already working on offering an Open API and envisions its technology in PCs, set-top boxes and more. In fact, the company expects to announce a PC partnership before the end of the year. Next year, we may see it built into an HDTV. The resolution of the Kinect motion sensing grid is high-enough to drive facial recognition, which means the future of PrimeSense and even Kinect could eventually exceed our imaginations. The company was already demoing Minority Report-style content management at E3.
