Earlier this year Asus launched their Xtion motion sensor
controller which was designed to bring Microsoft Kinect style control
to the PC. However when compared to the Kinect device Asus’s Xtion
Motion controller came up a little short on specifications.
Asus is now looking to correct this with the launch of their newly
updated second generationPC motion sensor in the form of the Asus Xtion
Pro Live. The new device is now equipped with a pair of microphones
perfect for voice commands, together with a webcam 640×480 resolution.
Asus has also introduced a new app store
for Xtion devices where developers can upload and sell their app
creations, but unfortunately the pricing of the new Xtion Pro Live
Motion Sensor seems to still be a long way off the Kinect if its
launched with the expected sales price of $270. Unfortunately no
information on worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as
soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
