Blistered Thumbs : Asus & Primesense Team Up for PC Kinect?

"Today in a press release, tech development company Primesense, the company behind the 3D detection technology the Microsoft Kinect uses, announced that they would be teaming up with manufacturer ASUS to market a PC device quite similar to the Kinect called the WAVI Xtion." ~ Johnny M.

Getting any news off a gaming site on technology may not seem all that wise to some people, but I happen to like some of the reviews here. In fact I am a gamer as well. Not having a 360, I am unable to check out what the Kinect can do in games. But I do have the Wii and have a lot of fun playing games with my kids. The idea of in home motion capture is going to help quite a bit with moving towards VR gaming. I am really hoping it will make a comeback.

Here is a link to what someone has done with their hacked Kinect and other technical know-how.
