Using Kinect on PC, Will It Happen?
Posted in Speculation on Jan 15., 2010
With all of the excitement of Kinect, people are wondering if they’ll be able to use Kinect on PC games and applications. While that definitely hasn’t been announced by Microsoft as a possibility, I can see it happening down the line.
If it catches on with the Xbox 360 as I am pretty sure it will, it definitely opens up the possibility for Microsoft to expand their customer base to the millions and millions of Windows users across the world.
Being able to scroll through website pages, change tabs instantly, and click links with the wave of your hand will make things like reading news, RSS feeds, and e-mail much better experiences. Especially if the voice command possibilities of Kinect are integrated, you can tell it when link to click just by saying the link’s name.
What ideas do you have for Kinect on PC applications and games?
If it’s released on PC I will buy it. If it’s only released on Xbox, I’m not interested. The modding community will bring Kinect features into all the top moddable games. Whereas on Xbox it will simply be casual pap.
