Apple buys developer of original Kinect tech
"Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," said Apple to the BBC.
PrimeSense noted the acquisition to Engadget in a brief statement, "We can confirm the deal with Apple. Further than that, we cannot comment at this stage."
The current Kinect bundled with Xbox One does not use PrimeSense's tech and was developed in-house at Microsoft.

Zomboid I think the iPhone 6 will have face recognition, as well as Touch ID. I look forward to their next product in line.
iDevices would be even better if you didn't have to touch the screen. Putting a sensor on a
iDevice so it can read your finger motions without placing your grubby
mitts on the screen... priceless. I hope they can make it smaller.

Yeah Like Zomboid said they could invest into facial recognition.

There is already a lot of smartphones with face recognition, and the iPhone 5 already has a fingerprint scanner...
