WAVI Xtion (Kinect for PC)

Computer hardware manufacturer ASUS has teamed up with the makers of Kinect's camera technology, PrimeSense, to bring controller-free, gesture-based gaming to your PC this year, a product it will show off at this week's Consumer Electronics Show.

 

It is, essentially, the Xbox 360's Kinect controller, but with a less graceful name: the WAVI Xtion. The system pairs PrimeSense's 3D motion capture camera technology (the Xtion) with a transmitter/receiver (the Wireless Audio & Video Interaction system, or WAVI) to get the gesture-based job done. ASUS hopes the "next generation user interface device developed by ASUS [will] extend PC usage to the living room," according to its official press release.

 

The WAVI Xtion's official announcement touts the ability to interact with multimedia, social networks and "exciting" gesture-based games. The WAVI Xtion is scheduled to be released in the second quarter of 2011, with a worldwide release expected "in phases."

 

Kotaku will be on hand and ready to gesture at this years CES, so keep an eye peeled for hands-off WAVI Xtion impressions. Your best guesses about how one pronounces "Xtion" is welcome in the comments.

nebereiks hackeriam kankint to kinect daugiau. pc tures oficialu kinect irgi.kinijoj aisku pasipils porno zaidimai sitam ir pan. tik kazkaip nesuprantu tai MS vietoj to kad isleistu oficialiai pats sita daikt pc skirta su savo vardu,tai leidzia Asus uzsikalt is to pinigu. nes ja tikrai pirks. ir dar kaip. deja pacio kinect susidomejimas gali smarkiai kristi sitam isejus. manau kad pasirodys RTS zaidimu valdymas su sita kamera bei kitu geru dalyku.

gali but ir pigesnis aisku.bet kokiu atveju oficialus daiktas tures pagaliau draiverius, reiskia neuzilgo viska is pc bus galima valdyt su juo. ar as tokio noriu..hell yes.. kad ir interneto narsymui, filmu ziurejimui,nereiks ieskot peles ir kur ja pasidet kad galetum pastumdyt kursoriu ekrane, ar sau ramiai interneta narsyt per atstuma.

Nu paziuresim kaip bus seip gerai Loptopa pasijungiai pre HD tv ir sau guledamas ar sededamas foteli sau valdai tik paziureism ar sis dalikelis reguos i gulincius ar sedincius vartotojus

o tai i rankas ka negali reguot ar tu gulesi ar sedesi ar dar ka veiksi. as nenoriu savo kunu valdyt peles ekrane..omg.. rankom uztenka

be to gausim tokio tipo zaidimu

reik atjungt apsauga kad rodytu sita.

asmeniskai mane tai domintu butent pats valdymas peles su situ. idomu na minority report valdyma pagaliau turet ar kazka panasaus. pakeist ta poziuri kad va pc tai yra sedejimas prie stalo ir peles maigymas.gali buti visai kitaip. pc gali stovet bet kur kad ir kambari uz HDTV ir jo nei matyt nei girdet. o valdyt viska kad galetum kad ir kur butum kambari.aisku yra belaides peles ir pan ,bet vistiek ne tas. ieskok kilimelio ar plokscio pavirsiaus dar jai. ir manau kad atsiras tikrai koncepciju panaudojimo apie ka mes dar net nepagalvojam. vien is kinect jau ka padare. RUSE valdyt galima irgi. taigi faktiskai bet koki RTS bus galima valdyt tikriausiai. na ir kitus zaidimus kur nereikia to fizinio valdymo butinai. kad ir flashinius zaidimukus palost ar pan.
