Popular Tablet newspaper The Daily recently took a trip to Microsoft's development studios in Redmond Washington. There they were shown some of Microsoft's recent developments. Including a pair of Asus notebooks running Windows 8 and integrated with the sensors from Microsoft's motion control device, the Kinect.
These are believed to be prototypes of Laptops currently in development that will be including the Kinect hardware. If these prototypes get approved they could achieve some great uses. As I stated in the earlier post about Kinect's being developed for standard PC's they could prove extremely handy for presentations and interacting with an audience. Making them marketable to commuting businessmen and lecturers.
The ability to have portable motion control is something we haven't really seen before and who can imagine all of the implementations it could have in our day to day lives. Although i'm fairly certain that we won't be using motion controls as a primary method of control, such as seen in Minority Report just yet. This is the first step on our way to seamless technological control. Breaking down the barriers between motherboard and man.
