Anonymous sources close to Microsoft have confirmed that the company is buying 3DV Systems, a motion-detection interface company.
3DV has been designing its camera technologies for some time; its ZCams are said to be a far more accurate version of Sony’s EyeToy, due to the fact that the devices can interpret how far away a subject is from its lens. The technology had reportedly been used in “advanced defense systems”, and has already been described as superior – in terms of accuracy – to the Wii Remote.
We at Arcade Junkies have been reporting on the overwhelming evidence that Microsoft is working on some form of motion technology for quite some time. While there has been much speculation as to which technology they would use, the fact that they are working on something Wii-like is the worst kept secret in the gaming industry.
