Microsoft Kinect for the XBox360 has been a great success for Microsoft since it was released at the back end of 2010. As soon as I had seen one of these in action my first thoughts where that this device and technology would be great for PC users.

The chips that power the motion-capture system in Microsoft’s Kinect are being put in a gadget that works with PCs.
This will mean anyone keen to tap into the sensing abilities of a gadget resembling the Kinect can do so without owning an Xbox 360
