While it is true that we do not usually hear many new news related to Microsoft Kinect, surely this news if you will remember him. Recently a new Microsoft project has been discovered that seems to revolutionize the world of Technology, this project it's called Microsoft Prague.
The idea of this project is to try to forget about the mouse and keyboard and make that is controlled by our hands, by our gestures. Thus, Microsoft Prague tries to take Kinect technology but improve it, like Minority Report. In this case we are talking about that when Microsoft Prague concludes, any user will be able to control your operating system through a normal webcam and with gestures, from simple gestures such as pinching to zoom in or out to more complex gestures that allow the start of certain functions, something that is still far from being achieved.
Microsoft Prague tries to imitate the operation of Minority Report
The guys at Microsoft do not give up and have already published a video where there is a small demonstration of the operation of Microsoft Prague, quite rudimentary but it works. It is expected that Microsoft Prague will be compatible with other Microsoft technologies, we are not only referring to Microsoft Kinect but also Microsoft HoloLens, so it is expected that this technology can be incorporated into HoloLens to improve it even more if possible.
Personally I believe that Microsoft is showing what it is worth in this field and it is worth a lot. Yes OK the possibilities with Kinect are many, the range that opens with Microsoft Prague is even greater, a range of possibilities that can be used in almost all areas in which there is a computer.
Although the project is fine, it is true that there is still a long way to go to have this technology on our personal computers, so we will have to continue with our old mouse and our keyboard, yes, wireless that are more comfortable Do not you think?
