360-bar

According to reputable site ‘engadget’, Microsoft are planning (once again) to take Nintendo head-on in there motion sensing game. This time instead of rumours of the Newton or Darwin, it seems Microsoft have supposedly created something entirely unique, motion control without the use of a controller and camera? Seems to good to be true, read on after the jump!

According to engadgets source, Microsoft have created a ’sensor bar’ that can read full body motion without a camera or controller. It can detect the movement of an arm, hand, or even a finger. Full ’specs’ below;

  • Full body and hand gesture control of games / characters.
  • In fighting games you kick, punch, duck, dive, jump and so forth with your body.
  • It also picks up small hand gestures like pinching, grabbing and scrolling.
  • There will also be video conferencing and games with video.
  • Trivia game over the Internet with live images of each person playing. When a question pops up, they can clap to buzz in.
  • You can “move objects on your screen” and the other party can see what you’re doing in real time.
  • Sensor detects only the person playing, not folks observing on the couch.

    • And here is the only known picture, what are your thoughts on the 360 motion bar?
