Kinect could make its way to laptops by By Christina Bonnington, WIRED updated 9:42 AM EST, Mon January 30, 2012


After XBOX came out with the Kinect System, which allows users to control movements on the screen by simply moving their hands, Windows Operating systems is trying to integrate this same format of motion sensors into their computers. This system which would now allow PC users to Control on screen movements by using their hands would be one of the greatest new technologies to become available for the computer. These new products would be a great addition to windows already commanding control over the personal computer networks systems. I think that this is a great idea. I have used the Kinect System for the XBOX and although its more difficult than anything to use when you first start using Kinect. It does become easier. With this new technology for Windows I believe that it will start creating a new market for computers. One of the biggest issues that may arise with the integration of this technology into a computer would be the cost. With the Kinect system now in computers which are already an expensive item, how much would adding the Kinect feature add to the cost of a computer? I think it will be a great idea and make great products, if the cost is kept low on computers with it.

  1. I feel like it is an awesome idea and that people would be very excited to use it but I honestly feel like there would be a lot of complications that come with this new technology. I believe that the Kinect on laptops will be better developed over the years. The Kinect for Xbox is really fun but they are still just developing more games. I believe it will be a long process for the Kinect to be perfected on the laptops and I do believe the price will be significantly high but it will still attract a lot of customers. New technology will always attract consumers because they always want to be the first to have the newest and greatest invention. The Kinect on the laptop I'm sure will do great selling wise but people might be in for a surprise at how well the technology will really work.
