Steve Ballmer recently announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, that Kinect will be officially supported by Windows PCs. Â The CEO did not elaborate on the specifics of the incorporation with Windows, nor did he announce a time frame for the supported compatibility.
Whether Microsoft supports it or not, many have taken the liberty to incorporate their own functionalities into the device. Â Robot controllers, Game Controllers, Boobie Smackers, Virtual Puppet Shows, to name a few. Â Incorporation into Windows officially is happening in the future, although little is known about the features, Â the potential is definitely there.
This announcement comes on the heels of PrimeSense’s announcement that they will be bringing a Kinect device to the PC complete with their own version of an App Store where creative folks can distribute their Kinect hacks like the ones mentioned above.
