Never one to let another company’s innovation go unchallenged, Microsoft has received patents for a ‘magic wand’, which one can only assume is a forthcoming Xbox 360 controller and not something that makes rabbits appear from top hats.

So Says The BBC:

The patent application also describes “biometric sensors” that would examine “fingerprint, hand geometry, hand vein pattern, palm pattern, and grip configuration” along with “facial thermogram, a facial feature, a retinal feature, or an iris feature”.
