Microsoft is currently negotiating to acquire the Israeli 3D technology company 3DV Systems for $35 million USD.
According to the company's website, "3DV Systems develops "virtual reality" imaging technology for digital cameras that it sells, called ZCams (formerly Z-Sense). Its main targets are the gaming market that enjoy a genuinely immersive experience."
The ZCam allows users to control the game through body gestures, just as the Nintendo Wii or PlayStation's EyeToy does. 3DV says their system is better however, as you are not required to wear anything.
The software giant will use the 3D technology in its Xbox 360 console.
