    Kinect Support

    Concept »

    Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.

    Microsoft demonstrate how Natal 'sees' the player.

    Very cool. I wonder if it can see down to the finger level, that could totally change everything.  
     
    Just me or does the screen go completely green near the end?

    Yeah, definitely seems to mess up at the end, when she moves out of shot and it seems to remove both characters from the screen.

    They're only showing specific elements of it here.  Namely the fact it has next to no lag, can determine gender (and presumably facial expressions) and allow you to directly control things on the screen with your own movements.
