Asustek and PrimeSense,an Israeli company whose 3D camera is a core part of Kinect,said that theyre working to let users gesture to surf the Web,check social networks and control videos on their PC or a TV connected to your PC.
Kinect uses a 3D camera,depth sensors and voice-recognition software to recognise your face,voice and gestures as you move around and talk,without requiring you to hold a controller or wear a headset.As a result,you can control on-screen characters in video games simply by talking or moving your body.
If Kinects success is any indication,Asus could be on to something.Microsoft released Kinect in November and said it sold 2.5 million of the sensors in the first 25 days it was available.
Asus and PrimeSense will show off the technology at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.The companies plan to enable motion controls on PCs in the second quarter of the year through an accessory called the WAVI Xtion,which combines an Asus user interface with PrimeSenses 3D technology.However,Asus did not say how much WAVI Xtion will cost.AP
