Hands-on: Intel's RealSense is both productive and fun

LAS VEGAS—Intel is here at CES pushing the idea that we will interact with our PCs in far easier and smarter ways in the near future. And if the company's new Kinect-like camera interface is any guide, voice and gesture interaction with PCs might indeed be just about ready for prime time.

Throughout 2014, OEMs including Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and NEC will begin integrating Intel's new RealSense 3D camera into their laptops. RealSense is Intel's version of Kinect for Windows, but with its own camera and microphone.

Over time, according to Mooly Eden, the senior vice president in charge of perceptual computing for Intel, the company will begin to add more products under the RealSense brand umbrella.

But for now, is RealSense just another input modality, like touch, that's going to annoy as much as it assists? Fortunately, the answer appears to be no.
