PC to get Kinect - Microsoft CEO

[achoo]

Steve Ballmer tells BBC that the motion-sensing system will make its way to Windows systems when the time is 'right'.

At his 2011 Consumer Electronics Show keynote address, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer made much of the Kinect, the Xbox 360's motion-sensing system. The camera-based, controller-free peripheral shipped 8 million units last year, 3 million more than the 5 million units the company expected it to.

With the Kinect already a hit on the Xbox 360, many people are wondering if the add-on will ever be released for Microsoft's omnipresent product, Windows. Speaking with the BBC, Ballmer appeared to confirm that a PC-compatible Kinect will indeed be released--eventually, anyway.

When asked \"Will you be able to plug a Kinect into a PC?\" by the interviewer, Ballmer answered thusly: \"We'll support that in a formal way in the right time, and when we have an announcement to make, we'll make it.

Lololol playing tennis on the pc. I already can see in in the newspapers: "Guy slaps pc from his desk while playing Kinect for Windows". Just like with Kinect on X 360.

You do know you have to be a few meters away to play Kinect.

... Ofcourse I know that but that doesn't mean that everybody is doing that. Just Google something like: "Xbox 360 Kinect fails". There are already enough ppl who pwnt their tv with Kinect by making a high-kick or something too close to their tv.
