Apple Officializes Purchase of Motion-Sensor Firm PrimeSense

Posted by timothy on from the have-it-wrapped-and-delivered dept.

The reports that Apple was to buy Israeli 3-D sensor maker PrimeSense have turned out to be correct; the BBC reports that Apple has confirmed the purchase, though it is mum both about the price it paid and about where 3D sensors are likely to show up first in the Apple lineup. Also at the Register and Apple Insider, among others.

      Or indeed, just "confirms".

    Calling PrimeSense technology a "Motion-sensor" is like calling an iPhone a music player. Technically true; It can do that, but it doesn't really describe the product very well.

    I didn't think it was possible for little Timmy to get any worse but this officializes it.
