Asus is bringing a Kinect clone to the PC – and it’s built by PrimeSense, the same group that built Microsoft’s motion peripheral. As you can see from the photo below, it isn’t a new design by any stretch of the imagination.

Expect to hear more about the device, dubbed the Wavi Xtion, at CES later this week.

Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways without using a controller. Imagine controlling movies and music with the wave of a hand or the sound of your voice. With Kinect, technology evaporates, letting the natural magic in all of us shine.
 
^^ Ye Felix explained, basically, an advanced iToy. Lol xD
 
^An advanced PS Move, Sony :troll:

Kinda awesome for Asus and PC owners. Thank for the news.

Literally just read about this 10 seconds ago on a dutch site.
Some more info, sorry if its kinda a thread hijack ;_;

Computer hardware manufacturer ASUS has teamed up with the makers of Kinect's camera technology, PrimeSense, to bring controller-free, gesture-based gaming to your PC this year, a product it will show off at this week's Consumer Electronics Show.

It is, essentially, the Xbox 360's Kinect controller, but with a less graceful name: the WAVI Xtion. The system pairs PrimeSense's 3D motion capture camera technology (the Xtion) with a transmitter/receiver (the Wireless Audio & Video Interaction system, or WAVI) to get the gesture-based job done. ASUS hopes the "next generation user interface device developed by ASUS [will] extend PC usage to the living room," according to its official press release.

The WAVI Xtion's official announcement touts the ability to interact with multimedia, social networks and "exciting" gesture-based games. The WAVI Xtion is scheduled to be released in the second quarter of 2011, with a worldwide release expected "in phases."

Kotaku will be on hand and ready to gesture at this years CES, so keep an eye peeled for hands-off WAVI Xtion impressions.
