Microsoft Xbox Project NATAL

The most amazing game console I've ever seen. Introducing "Natal”, Microsofts Xbox new leap to the world of gaming. Microsoft opts to choose motion or sensor based controller, also to prevent from imitating Nintendo which uses different gadgets as a controller. They named the project Natal, the name comes from one of the city of Brazil where Alex Kipman who is one of the engineers of the project came from.

Natal has a monochrome tracking camera that can detect between a colorful papers or an ornaments from your body, can detect where your body is and your motion specially your joint movements, even in a distance. It also has a voice tracking device recognition to detect the voice of the player and not the voice of your buddies. Simply great!

You can also watch movie from this device. The best part is that you can connect your game play to other families or just keep connected with other people with its communication capabilities.

A game console similar to the Microsoft Xbox is Sony EyeToy, but Sony EyeToy tracks motion poorly.
