Xbox Full Body Capture Interactive OS: Project Natal

[Curlew]

Xbox is unveiling a new adapter and OS expansion that will allow the user to use full body motion capture to play controller free. This full body capture seems to applied in several different ways, from a single player martial arts game, to a soccer duel, to using your fist and hand as your buzzer. It seems very impressive and hopefully is applied to games and not just used as a novelty. On top of the full body capture there also looks to be a very advanced voice interaction and recognition system. For Microsoft to be putting out something more leading edge then a garbage OS is pretty sweet and I am interested to see if they can keep up the new direction.

Play Station has one of these already. Ever seen the commercial? The kid is playing with it and some old lady sees him on the TV and starts shouting "Billy's on the TV! Everyone look! Billy's on the TV!". I think it is called the PS eye.
