To see the original press conference, with two live demos, click here . You might want to skip ahead, as it's two hours long, and only the last 25 minutes are Natal. Skip to 87:00 for Natal; 98:00 for the first live demo (breakout); and 101:00 for the second live demo (paint). In brief, Natal is a depth sensor for the Xbox that can track the movement of your entire body: shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, head, etc. - your entire body, with truly fantastic precision - and you don't have to wear anything. It's also got a microphone array so you can use voice commands, and a color camera to do things like object digitization and face recognition. Pretty exciting stuff!! To hear more about my role in the project, please see my ' about Natal ' page. 5/25/2009 TEASER: keep a close eye on Microsoft's keynote at E3 early next week. I'll say a bit more after the event...! UPDATE: watch it live, online, Monday, June 1, 10:30am Pacific / 1:30pm Eastern:
