It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for- soon we will be able to play videogames using our bodies to control them without the need for a controller.

The new system dubbed Project Natal is being developed by Microsoft and will be available to use on the Xbox 360 from November 2010. It uses a 3-D camera that is connected to the console to gauge the positioning of the user and mimic their actions on the screen.

“With Project Natal we are removing the last barrier to gaming, the controller, freeing you to have the experience you want with technology that is natural for you.” commented Robbie Bach, Microsoft’s president of entertainment and devices.

Its main rival, the Nintendo Wii has come under fire for having games that become uninvolving after a few sessions, so Microsoft are hoping that the Xbox 360’s processing power will allow players to get immersed in much more engaging games.

If you are doing family history research you should have no time for video games !

Researching:
Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)
