When Valve ships its own prototype version of a Steam Machine later this year to 300 beta users, those folks are getting relatively tiny and powerful gaming consoles. At very least, it’ll have an NVIDIA GTX 660 (all the way through Titan), and anywhere from an Intel i3 CPU to an i7-4770. All …

Intel is quickly transforming its dream of perceptual computing into reality: the company will soon ship motion control technology, and it acquired the gesture interface firm Omek back in July. The chip giant may not be done yet, as there are reports from Spain that it has acquired Indisys, a small natural language recognition company. Details of the buyout are scarce, but the move would give Intel its own voice control software; it wouldn’t have to license code from third parties like Nuance. We’ve reached out to Intel to confirm the acquisition.

Update: Intel just confirmed to us that it acquired Indisys on May 31st, and that the deal has already closed.

Ever looked at your laptop and wanted Kinect-like motion tracking implemented for that added functionality? It could well become reality.
