Microsoft reportedly engaged on Kinect-enabled laptops

It continues to be seen when or if they’ll grow to be actual products, however the Daily reports that Microsoft is no less than engaged on getting its Kinect technology shoved into laptops. While details are light, the iPad-based publication says that it’s seen a couple of prototypes that “appear like Asus netbooks running Windows 8,” but that have had their webcams replaced with an array of sensors that run along the head of the screen (a collection of LEDs are said to be on the bottom). The Daily also says that it’s confirmed with a source at Microsoft that the devices are indeed official prototypes of a Kinect-enabled laptop, and it unsurprisingly means that Microsoft would likely license the technology to laptop manufacturers in preference to build its own hardware.
