Sure, but didn't Primesense make a lot of the hardware for the original Kinect? I remember at one point I couldn't download the original Primesense drivers anymore and read it was because Apple had purchased the company. Not saying they can't do anything interesting with it because depth cameras really are cool and due for some "killer apps" but last time I heard talk of recognizing people in the room, it was regarding the Kinect and people were wringing hands over tracking and privacy. Either that or they were lamenting how the 3d tracking in games was mostly a gimmick. Unrelated to the Apple thing, I still think depth cameras will come into their own when you can place a few small ones around a room and create a realtime 3d model of a space for VR.
