Microsoft unveiled its new control system for the Xbox 360 console, dubbed Project Natal, at E3 in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Project Natal is a fully hands-free control system that will use face recognition and motion sensors to allow users to play games. The product will work with all incarnations of the Xbox 360 console.
Unlike the Nintendo Wii, which relies on motion sensors and an actual 'Wiimote'
that you have to hold, Natal simply detects your motions, letting you kick and jump
and do all other moves as if you were in the game.
Although still in the early stages, Microsoft has sent prototypes to all the main game developers. The software giant said it is still developing games and did not disclose an official release date or how much it would cost.
Below are some videos of Microsoft's Project Natal in action:
