Microsoft is planning to use the in-built PC cameras and turn it to Kinect camera as mounting Kinect sensors on every PC is not feasible.

The general manager of Xbox application, Michael Mott, said that instead of mounting sensors on every PC, they can use other alternates using Webcams.

PC World reported that the latest addition to Kinect for windows could be launch by this summer. Kinect can recognize users and track their movements.

Mott said that after a decade from now, PCs will naturally react to users and sign in if they are in sleep mode, they might judge how the user feels and play some music to comfort you.
