Project Natal - One Giant Leaps
If we look back at the technologies which allowed us to interact with the virtual world we will certainly note the significance of the keyboard, the OS, The mouse, the web cam and of course game controllers like the Wii. These controllers, combined with incredible bandwidth speeds and innovative companies building products around them have made our virtual experiences very rich, productive and rewarding. It's easy to forget how entire industries are shaped and even created because of a new way to interact with our world in a virtual way. Many of us long for that moment when a number of promising innovations finally mature and then come together to create a cohesive and amazing experience.
Microsoft's new Project Natal may have achieved just that. A completely new, innovative and amazing way to experience our virtual world.
Check out the two demo video's of Project Natal here.
