The Verge: Microsoft bringing Kinect motion-sensing input technology to ‘Nokia McLaren’ handset

The Verge has revealed in a recent report that the Kinect motion-sensing input technology is being brought to Microsoft's forthcoming Windows Phone handset --- the company's future Lumia flagship codenamed 'McLaren.'

According to the report, the upcoming 'Nokia McLaren' handset will apparently boast gesture support which will give the users of the handset the ability to navigate the device without touching its display.

The special motion-sensing input feature of the 'Nokia McLaren' handset will enable the users activate apps and interact with the handset's tools and functions merely by hovering their finger over the handset's display.

With the mentioned 'Kinect' capability of the 'Nokia McLaren' handset allowing the users to control the device without touching the screen, it is apparent that the handset will not require any 'buttons' for the users to press while navigating the handset.

Revealing that the gesture support feature is being developed by Nokia, The Verge said that the feature will likely by rolled out on devices for different US carriers later this year.
