microsoft's project natal



earlier this week microsoft announced project natal, a new xbox controller that responds to gamers’ motions.
the device accompanies other major announcements like the new sony psp go, at this week’s e3 video game
conference. project natal is an innovative new way to interact with the xbox system using a person’s natural
movements and no controller. a sensor bar is placed near the display allowing the game system to read a
users motions, translating these to the game itself. beyond in game actions, the new system can also be used
to interact with the menus and other xbox applications with simple gestural motions.

In 20 years the people will probably laugh about that spot. No controller can't be the answer. If I drive a car for example, I need something like a steering wheel. They should do more research on haptics preferably.
