Technology Tuesday on Empty Streets: Project Natal

I just got to read a fantastic article about what XBOX is upto. Imagine a console free gaming environment and much more. Imagine touch screen with out the need to touch. After reading through and watching what Project Natal has to offer am imagining a world like that of the cartoons The Jetsons :)

Here is more about what Project Natal has to offer:

Project Natal is the code name for a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, Project Natal enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller, in a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical base. Project Natal was first announced on 1 June at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Microsoft said that over 1000 development kits began shipping to game developers that same day.

Though Microsoft has not officially announced any price or release date projections for Project Natal, it is expected to be released in late 2010. Project Natal will reportedly also serve as the basis for a "new" Xbox 360.
