Microsoft Buys 3D Chip Maker.


Microsoft has reached a deal for the acquisition of Canesta, a 3D chip maker based in Sunnyvale, Calif., for an undisclosed amount.

Canesta provides Microsoft with its 44 patents relating to 3D motion-capturing technology and has many more patents on its way. Coupled with last year's acquisition of 3DV, a similar motion chip manufacturer, Microsoft may have some big plans for integration of the fairly new technology in a wide array of future products.
