Xbox Project Natal : Microsoft’s answer to the Wii.

Posted by admin On November - 16 - 2009
Project Natal is the code name for a “controller-free gaming and entertainment experience” for the Xbox 360. It’s based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360, Project Natal enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the a game controller with the help of a small camera analysing gestures, spoken commands or presented objects and images.

Here is Microsoft demo of Project Natal : Microsoft’s answer to the Wii.

According to a report issued by British games magazine MCV, Microsoft’s much-heralded Project Natal hands-free gaming control system could hit store shelves as soon as November 2010 and cost as little as 80 USD.

Only 80$ for  something the TIME magazine’s list as #5 of the 50 best inventions of 2009, this is not a lot. Imagine playing with you whole body.  Rumor says that Fable 3 would be using this innovative system.

We don’t know if it works as good it does on the video, but if it does it could be a big revolution in the video game world. If it doesn’t, Sony’s PS3’s motion-sensing wand peripheral could help the PS3 in the console war.
