Clone para PC do Kinect é apresentado na CES '11

The Kinect experience is now coming to the PC. Instead of computer users relying on hacking the Kinect, PrimaSense, the company that licensed Microsofts Kinect, and famed computer specialist and technology experts Asus are investing in a PC compatible Kinect device titled the WAVI Xtion.

“The WAVI Xtion media center for the PC leverages ultra-wide band wireless link and PrimeSense 3D sensing solution to provide controller-free interaction experiences in the living room. Users can browse multimedia content, access the Internet and social networks, and enjoy full body interaction in a more user-friendly and natural living room experience.”

The device will be making its official debut at the upcoming CES, and will be expected to go on sale in February this year. Having a Licensed Kinect product for the PC will open a range of options, from controlling your operating system via gestures, or even browsing media on a Home made Home Media Server.

The device will use C++ and C# on the Visual Studio .NET 2008 and 2010 edition platforms, allowing a great range of homebrew to be coded in one of technologies most flexible languages.

Agora, algo incrivelmente caro usado pra games casuais e on-rails extremamente limitado, com diversos problemas de atraso, detecção e etc, nem de graça.
