Microsoft Kinect Enabled TVs In The Works

We have been hearing a number of rumors that we may see the first Apple TV next year, and Google is working with a number of manufacturers to bring more Google TV enabled devices to market. Now it would appear that Microsoft is in discussion with TV manufacturers, and they are planning to license the Kinect technology to companies like Sony and Vizio, which would mean HDTV’s with Microsoft’s Kinect built in. According to a recent report by The Daily, the Kinect enabled TVs would be able to recognize specific users, and then change the setting to that user in line with their viewing habits. It certainly sounds very interesting, and we suspect with all the companies racing to bring more functions to TV sets, things are going to get a lot more exciting over the next few years.
