Microsoft's Project Natal - SatChat ™ Satellite & Entertainment Forum

Microsoft is currently looking into technology that will allow users to play games using their hands and bodies. Microsoft's Project Natal will use sensors to detect the user's movements, voices and face.

Sounds like the Wii remote to me

That's the idea, only that it's more natural and accurate.

When will this be available?

What's great about this planned controller is that it will work with current Xbox 360s. So you don't have to upgrade your 360 to enjoy it.

Nothing yet. This is just a concept for now. There is also no news on how much it would cost.

It might not be a long wait, I've heard the Microsoft has already sent developer kits to game programmers... hopefully, there will be a game for it soon, and hopefully it will be launched by then.

This just means that Microsoft is going for Nintendo's throat right?

It would seem like it. I am surprised because I've always thought that MS was competing more with Sony.

This seems very much like Guitar Hero's guitar. More natural movements.
