Hello all,

I don't know if you saw the demo Microsoft made at the E3 about a technology reply to the Nintendo Wiimote, but it was quite impressive. They seem to use a simple camera to interpretate the movements of the players and reproduce those moves for characters in games.

No need to place reflectors on players or to use uniform backgrounds. It is really bluffing. How they do that? It will be so great to hack an Xbox and get a cheap MoCap system for a few hundred bucks...

It look like Microsoft hired a Nintendo engineer well known for his work on the Wiimote to help them with Project Natal :
