I have recently been looking into the proposed new Xbox gaming console and its development which has been named Project Natal. Project Natal is an expansion of the Xbox 360, it will now include facial recognition technology and eliminate the need for controllers. It will combine webcam with social interaction facilities, motion sensors, and of course competitive live gaming online through Xbox Live.

Spielberg is right in this statement, the possibilities for the use of this technology in online environments will bring the feeling of reality that much closer. They could perhaps even allow for a true virtual reality using physical movements?
I will be sure to monitor the developments of this technology and be eagerly awaiting its use in mainstream media and communications tools.
