"This is a pivotal moment that will carry with it a wave of change, the ripples of which will reach far beyond video games"
STEVEN SPIELBERG
Microsoft Corp offered a glimpse into a future where the Xbox 360 console is the centerpiece of any living room, and games, social interaction and communications are controlled with the wave of a hand.
The technology obviates the need for a controller or remote device to enable a player for instance to drive a car in a game, interact with a character on screen or show pictures and information to other Xbox 360 users over the Internet.
The device, which connects to the Xbox 360 game system, tracks players' voices and body movements and recognizes their faces. It includes a camera, a multi-array microphone and software. A video showed the potential in martial arts, racing, skateboarding and trivia games.
No release date or price were announced, it may hit the market in the end of this year, and believed to take Video Gaming to another level.....
