Project Natal (for XBOX 360)

Microsoft finally took the wraps off the that rumored motion controller we'd been hearing about. Apparently the small, black device -- codenamed "Natal" -- will allow for an astoundingly wide range of actions by utilizing a group of sensors. The demo Microsoft showed off included a skateboarding game and a family playing a racing game.

The add-on will offer features such as auto sign-in for players to Xbox Live (based on complex facial recognition), and sports extremely detailed body tracking which will be able to follow the individual movements of separate limbs. A title was shown off which featured a woman interacting with a young boy on the screen (one of the company's creepier demos in recent memory.) Unfortunately for us. Everyone is still waiting for a release date from Microsoft.

here is a section from their website:

It is the perfect solution for presentations given in a business or event surrounding, where every aspect, from location over decoration to catering, has been arranged by specialists. In a setting like this, you need a presentation that can impress your audience beyond their expectations.

At the same time your presentation needs to be flexible enough to be adapted to changes up to the last minute before the event.

Ventuz is the perfect combination of these two aspects: impressive 3D looks and a real-time environment.
