The WiiBox- aka Microsoft Project Natal
For those that didn’t catch the latest announcement from Microsoft at the E3 expo about their new Xbox. They have squarely taken aim at the huge success of the Nintendo Wii and it’s motion sensor controlling.
Microsoft is hoping to take things to the next level by incorporating voice and facial recognition and doing away with a controller altogether, thus letting you be the controller.
Check out the video demo below for an overview of the new functionality.
In addition to the game play aspects of the unit, the new Xbox heavily focuses on being a movie player and delivery system, with full HD movie downloads from the device. Time will tell how many of the displayed features make their way out to Australia, but things look promising.
