Is Microsoft planning to integrate motion controls into Windows 8? The Daily claims the company is working with Asus to do exactly that, saying it "checked out" a pair of Asus prototypes.
The prototype laptops The Daily reportedly saw run on Windows 8 and carry a Kinect sensor across the top of the screen, with a set of LEDs at the bottom of the display.
At CES 2012 Microsoft announced it was going to make the console motion sensor available for PCs with Kinect for Windows.
Asus would be a good choice to make Kinect-based hardware-- it has experience with motion-controlled devices after releasing the WAVI Xtion (using the same PrimeSense technology inside the Kinect) last year.
Will Windows 8 carry built-in Kinect functionality? We will get to know soon enough, with the Windows 8 preview coming out later this month.
