That's looking pretty well developed. However I don't think it is going to be as polished as it clearly looks.
You just have to look at other pc voice recognition and motion detection software. I know they use different hardware and I believe there are two cameras in that device that allow perception of depth etc. My point is there's been the possibility of this sort of thing for a long time and it's just not happened...and this seems a huge leap from where we currently are technologically.

The Natal demonstration was impressive at E3 ... until PS3 made their showing the following day. Notice the lag in Natal in comparison to PS3.

shame it did not get the same hype.

In terms of presentations though, the MS one is much slicker.

How ironic, the advertisement shown before that was a trailer from Terminator 3...

It looks nice and all, tho im not overly impressed nor sure about it..

MS one: looks awsome and the respons dialogue is impressive, but what falls to my mind is that the video could have been fabricated, all what the girls says and gets respons on could have been prearranged...
the amount of data being handled by the Xbox 360 to run something like that is insane, so either they are really pushing the Xbox to the limits or they really made a miracle, i just got the feeling it might be a bit to much for the 3.2Ghz Tricore PowerPc processor inside the little machine.. and the data to be stored on the Xbox would be immense.

PS3: the respons times looks a little faster as Sadako pointed out... But it looks nothing as the natal, all the interaction is handled by the weird controller stick with, so the limitations are there again, and all they do in the presentation looks rather unimpressive, not really anything you cant do on a Wii..

It looks interesting without doubt, but im skeptical as usual, to me their just hyping up something new, which we will be waiting a long time for, and when it hits, it might be great..
But thats my two cents, MS and Sony can prove me wrong.

It's a separate box with a proprietary CPU so independant of the 360.

Yes the Natal controller has a built in processor to handle the data input from the cameras, but all of the demonstrated programming still needs to be run from a Xbox360, motion recognition, movement, speech recognition, respons algorithms, and im just not buying that you got limitless posibilities as they claim with that demonstration.

Just to clarify im not saying its all hoax, i do not question the natals functions, its without doubt gonna introduce a new way of controlling the xbox.
im just questioning how much prescript that presentation is.. I just seems in my mind way to much for the little Xbox to handle

Gotta say i'm with Kreg on this one. The 'touch' interaction between user and system I can believe, but the voice interaction, having a believable human sounding conversation like that... I am of the opinion that the conversation was probably scripted. Not that that makes the control system any less fantastic.
