Apple TV maybe? Not built-in but as an add-on controller for the device and games/apps?

- Samuel_Michon 16y agoIt would make sense for the current incarnation of AppleTV, as it runs iOS and it's driven by Apple's A4 chip. Technically it could run iOS games, but it's missing a direct intuitive interface (like multitouch on other iOS devices). Kinect-like tech could bridge the gap, and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple came up with something similar. However, back in June of 2008, the AppleTV was a very different product than it is now. Its innards were more like a bare bones Mac Mini than a iPad. And aside from the architectural differences between Intel and ARM, the App Store was yet to open - Apple could not have predicted iOS becoming such an immensely popular game platform.
- czhiddy 16y agoI'm not sure how small they can make the Kinect hardware - I doubt Steve would approve of an add-on more than 6 times the size of the Apple TV.
- nitrogen 16y agoThe image on this page looks like it's about a third of the size of the Kinect: http://www.primesense.com/?p=487 http://www.primesense.com/?p=487
