PrimeSense, the company behind Kinect Sensor to be bought by Apple?

Microsoft is producing the Xbox One which comes with a Kinect Sensor in the box. The Xbox One is the latest iteration of video game console by Microsoft and has some great Graphics, CPU and GPU. The Kinect Sensor is a one of a kind motion detecting hardware that is always connected to you on the Xbox one. On the Xbox 360, Kinect only works for certain games. It is even better than the PlayStation Eye camera of the PS3 and the Move Controllers combined together. The Kinect Sensor design is thought to be brought by PrimeSense. The company is based in Israel and the company designed the Kinect sensor for Xbox 360. Apple has bought the 3D systems for $360 million. That is a $10 million above the average expectation of $310-350 million. The move has targeted a lot of views on whether Apple will sue Microsoft after its released Kinect Sensor. But Microsoft on the other Hand relies now on Canesta, a rival of PrimeSense. Microsoft and PrimeSense parted ways not too amicably. The start up company is bought by a largest company and the deal is not yet known i.e. if the workers in PrimeSense will go work for Apple or so. Apple is looking to implement it in its latest iPhone (I guess) and that sure will be a new innovation in the field of smartphones. Lets see.
