Kinect – Project Natal

Kinect (originally known by the code name Project Natal), is a “controller-free gaming and entertainment experience” by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images.

I’m not an X-box person so I didn’t pay attention to it when it was originally announced but a friend of mine showed me this video. Watching this video, my mind was going crazy on some of the game ideas you could do with the technology.

One of my favorite TV shows, The Office, featured one of my favorite video games, Call of Duty 2. The team at Dunder Mifflin Stanford used it as a team building excercise but it turned into more of a competition for them. I found this video online and had to put it on my site cause its just awesome. I’m still in a very long battle where I work to get this implemented but without any success. Hopefully someday, I will achieve this.

This second video parodies parodies Rainbow Six which mocks the discipline of the soldiers ability to “stack up”.

This third video parodies Metal Gear Solid 4 and Snake’s ability to hide in a barrel.
