Project Natal on your PC?

15 July 2009 No Comment

You may have heard about Project Natal for the Xbox 360 (as we previously reported), but did you hear that it will be on PCs as well? Windows Vista users will be able to use their gestures, movements, and voice as controls.

Project Natal, in case you do not know, is a way to game without using a controller. Microsoft says that controllers intimidate some people and that they want there to be a system without any barriers. In a way this is Microsoft’s response to the Nintendo Wii, but this goes beyond the Wii. No controllers means no broken TVs, noses, and many other items the WiiMotes destroyed. You will even be able to sing that virtual tennis racket without breaking Moms vase. If you are crouching in real life then you will be crouching in game too. I NEED to play Street Fighter using Project Natal! My house will need a new foundation after a few “Blanka Rolls”.

Recently Bill Gates stated that the technology behind Project Natal will be used toward other devices such as TVs and Computers. Imagine instant messaging someone by talking and when you smile “J” will pop up. The possibilities are endless. Windows users will be able to use this technology and we will prosper from it. Maybe this will be what we need to shut all the Mac fan-boys up.

Is Project Natal a good thing? Or are people lazy enough already?

Be sure to check out the video of Project Natal.
