Whats With The British Wearing A Red Flower Pin

and democratization with KINECTS uses (eg project NATAL) from Microsoft in my living room? USA

And if Microsoft was successful Natal with his project integrated in its gaming console Xbox 360 where Apple has succeeded with its multitouch on iPhone?

For with the marketing concept of Natal, it would bring in the daily lives of people living a revolutionary way to interact as naturally intuitive (Natural User Interface ).




Let's dream a little. This technology based on gesture recognition and morphological objects and players within a limited space, here a part of the piece live in the house, one can imagine new uses beyond the game:

  • user or users are in the interface with patterns of interaction without handles, maximizing ease of use and interaction services available
  • users could be connected to the ambient cloud via the Xbox with a lot of applications as "AppStore" (games of course but also meditathèque home management, education, local news, administrative and neighborhood local shop, my insurance, my bank mobility multi-modal services, concierge services Custom), video telephony, ...
  • not forget the social potential of digital identity by connecting people from home (their personal social network, ...) and why not also lifestreaming the household, including also the communication with smart objects (the mailbox in the fridge from the thermostat, not to mention answering avatar response absence at home ...)

This technology, which could be termed "non-gestural interaction Contact Space "comes at a time when the ground for MS most shared household device in the world reinvents its market promising new experiences (3D and interactivity to the Internet). Natal on XBox 360 falls in spades and should enjoy the excitement and enticed by the potential uses and user -experience renewed beyond video games and watching programs or movies, to anchor in what could be called the "Domus Connectivity" Why not!

But I understand that only video game publishers have NATAL SDK (if you have any information about it, I'm interested), a way for these players to expand their market beyond the game by developing an offer around immersive interactive services anchored on the household? It would be nice too, presumably, they will focus on what they do best: play
Hypothesis: the strategy of MS as a first step would be to ensure quality provision on use video game, the first promise expected by the public, and especially how to capture and retain customers, then develop the application in the domestic sphere ... and open the SDK to other players in the software development? Go, chick!

Stay tuned.

Maj MS should make an announcement on June 14 about Natal in Los Angeles at the E3 conference dedicated to video games. :)

Maj: MS has officially announced a name on the Natal project from Microsoft. This will be "KINECTS for Xbox 360" , the game system to human control. An announcement on the price and the expected launch date June 15 Stay tuned.
