Microsoft is in talks to buy the Israeli technology company 3DV Systems . Her only product is the Z-Cam camcorder, which connects to the TV and recognizes the user's movements. Thus, the standard D / U remote becomes unnecessary, and you can control the TV with gestures. They say it’s very convenient.
However, Microsoft has a few other cool things to it. Their idea is to implement support for this interface in various games for the Xbox 360 console. Thus, gamers will get some analogue of the Wii rimot, only without this rimot itself. If everything works out as it should, then we can play tennis, holding in our hand not a foreign console, but a real tennis racket.
Moreover, the camera is able to recognize and transmit into the game the movements of the hands, feet, head of the gamer and even fingers - in real time.
If by dismissing employees and freezing strategic projects, Microsoft is still ready to shell out $ 35 million to buy a startup, then this definitely should be something disruptive.
Similar ideas are implemented in the Micorosoft Vision camera, as well as in the Sony Eye Toy product, but, according to Israeli businessmen, all this is nonsense compared to their truly revolutionary device.
