Today, Apple confirmed it has purchased
PrimeSense, specializing in 3D sensing technology with about $360 million. Why
Apple choose to do this?
As the Guardian points out, this means
Apple is going to put PrimeSense's technology to work. Apple's other big buys:
PA Semi, which has been used to develop iPhone chips; Authentec, which was used
for the fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 5S; Quattro Wireless which became iAd.
So, what's Apple going to do with it? We're
speculating here, but it sure seems like PrimeSense's 3D technology will be
used in the Apple TV. It may or may not work its way into a full-on Apple
television, but it seems fairly certain it will be in the little Apple TV box.
