At this years CES show Microsoft announced that the Natal will be coming this Holiday season.Heres a video showing you how it works:
Heres some more info oh how much juice its gonna use up in your xbox:
[Project Natal lead developer Alex Kipman] says Natal consumes just 10 to 15 per cent of the Xbox’s computing resources and it can recognise any pose in just 10 milliseconds. It needs only 160 milliseconds to latch on to the body shape of a new user stepping in front of it.
The system locates body parts to within a 4-centimetre cube, says Kipman. That’s far less precise than lab-based systems or the millimetre precision of Hollywood motion capture. But Douglas Lanman, who works on markerless 3D interaction at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and is not involved with Natal, says that this will likely be accurate enough for gamers.
So will Natal change the face of gaming this holiday season?
