Project Natal... is this even POSSIBLE??

If they're able to do this then how far have we come? The concept alone might not be so new but the technology definitely is.

You gotta love the first example, imagine being able to practice your MA at home like THAT!

What do you think?

That would be awesome...still there's no substitute for a physical 3-D uke.

Cool!

It is definitely possible. It will be limited though, with potential significant sensitivity/signal issues. Plus, the games you can use with that system will be by necessity very limited - you could see that in the demos. Only fairly simple movements will be incorporated. Anything more would be a nightmare by sensor and programming standards.

Heh, give them time.

Pretty neat looking. A few questions:
Where is the fun in fighting with no tactile response?
How can it (can it) judge force behind a motion? The Wii has an accelerometer.

That was interesting I wonder how far MS will go with it. I hope the game developers get on board with it or it will be useless if there are no games that will utilize it other than MS games.

I like my Wii, but this is going to be killer.

Time to by an Xbox360.
