Microsoft
is negotiating the purchase of an Israeli technology company
3DV Systems . Its only product is the Z-Cam camcorder, which connects to the TV and recognizes the user's movement. Thus, the standard D / U remote control becomes unnecessary, and you can control the TV with gestures. They say it is very convenient.
However, Microsoft has conceived something more abruptly. Their idea is to embed support for this interface in various games for the Xbox 360 console. Thus, gamers will get some kind of analogue of the Wii, only without this very root. If everything works out as it should, then we will be able to play tennis, holding in our hand not a foreign controller, but a real tennis racket.
Moreover, the camera is able to recognize and transfer to the game the movements of the arms, legs, head of the gamer and
even fingers - in real time.

If dismissing employees and freezing strategic projects, Microsoft is still ready to pay $ 35 million to buy a startup, then this should definitely be something breakthrough.
Similar ideas are implemented in the camera Micorosoft Vision, as well as in the product Sony Eye Toy, but, according to the statements of Israeli entrepreneurs, all this is nothing compared to their truly revolutionary device.
