Apple buys developer of original Kinect tech
"Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," said Apple to the BBC.
PrimeSense noted the acquisition to Engadget in a brief statement, "We can confirm the deal with Apple. Further than that, we cannot comment at this stage."
The current Kinect bundled with Xbox One does not use PrimeSense's tech and was developed in-house at Microsoft.

Insignia115From the original meaning of the initialism, PC (Personal Computer), it would make perfect sense to call a Mac a PC, as it is just that, a personal computer.Craig-LiaKAQ-3D I wonder if Apple are having thoughts on making there own gaming system? Hmmmm
I think if they did it would suck :/ it would have good technology but it would suck :/
I really don't think it would take off. Let Microsoft and Sony handle it.
It would be overpriced just like their PC's.
pc ? you mean their Macs ? llllllll
