Microsoft Debuts Full-Body Controller-less Gaming At E3

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-don't-throw-yourself-through-the-tv dept.

quintin3265 writes "At today's Electronic Entertainment Expo press briefing, Microsoft unveiled Project Natal, a technology that eliminates the controller from gaming on the Xbox 360. In one demo, a player used her arms and legs to hit balls in an attempt to destroy a brick wall, and in another game, an employee threw virtual "paint" on a canvas to create a painting, even drawing an elephant using a silhouette feature. An accompanying video also demonstrated automatic login using facial recognition, videoconferencing with other Xbox Live members, and participating in a gameshow against another family through the Internet using speech recognition."

  1. WOOT! GOODBY PRETENDO by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Pretendo has ran out of actual gimmicks. Their substandard shit will once again trail Sony and Microsoft. The pretendo piss will have substandard controllers, low Vga resolution, and a processor that was high tech in the 1990s. It has been and always will be a fact the X-Box 360 and Playstation 3 will give you 1080 while pretendo has and always will give you piss as in piss on you. They will fall very soon. The plus side to that is there will no longer will be anyone to post on shitdot(News for Fucktarded Sheeple like spun and his numerous sockpuppets like twitter, erris, mactrope, etc.) anymore.

    GO AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY!

    In about 4 months, he went from a 220-lb pudgy kid, to a 170-lb lean, gay guy.

    Fixed that for you, not that there is anything wrong with that.
