Sensors

The Project Natal sensor[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natal#cite_note-Natal_101-0) is an approximately 9-inch (23 cm) wide horizontal bar[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natal#cite_note-seattletimes-16) connected to a small circular base with a ball joint (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint) pivot, and is designed to be positioned lengthwise above or below the video display. The device features an "RGB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_space) camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_camera), depth sensor, multi-array microphone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone_array), and custom processor running proprietary software",[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natal#cite_note-Natal_101-0) which provides full-body 3D motion capture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_capture), facial recognition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_face_recognition), and voice recognition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_recognition) capabilities. The Project Natal sensor's microphone array enables the Xbox 360 to conduct acoustic source localization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_source_localization) and ambient noise suppression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control), allowing for things such as headset-free party chat over Xbox Live (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natal#cite_note-Natal_101-0)

That's actually pretty cool, I wonder how shooters will take advantage of technology like that... I'll buy one if it works as advertised.

[ThePlague]

Imaging playing FPS's with that :o

Even if I didn't have the money, and it ran like it did in the video, i'd buy the shit out of it.

Maybe in-game gestures can be done.

In Halo Reach, a nice flick of the finger to that lucky grenade whore.

I think I heard from a reliable source that Reach won't utilize natal.

That Blows!! they get something good and no one wants to use it...

[Trulife8342]

Bungie is one of the few companies that requested (and recieved) Natal Devkits...

[Dwood]

I honestly think Natal will be horrible when it comes out.

[BobtheGreatII]

Why is this being brought up now? lol. This stuff was all shown at E3...

[Higuy]

Yeah, its pretty old.

It's still pretty cool though, if something like Halo was utilize it that would be cool.
