The place João Bordalo calls home: Project Natal for XBOX 360

Project Natal for XBOX 360

While the buzz from Microsoft these days concentrate on Bing, their new "not a search engine but a decision engine" service, I think the real breakthrough technology people should be looking and talking about is the new project named Natal for XBOX 360.

It's a all new ball game in the human computer interaction, where one does not need a controller to play and interact with the XBOX 360. Just be there and play. Watch the demo:

Natal is the portuguese word for Christmas, does it means it will be available in Christmas? If so, Santa, I know is a bit early to ask for presents, but unless otherwise, this is what I want.

Update 4 hours later: Johnny Chung Lee has some technical insights of this project in his blog.

Absolutely brilliant. It seams that Microsoft is getting the right approach to the games industry! Xbox 360 is a success. Sony will have to attack hard on this…
