Re: Project Natal Preview - Home Automation Implications?

Annoyingly MS have dropped the onboard processing in order to hit a
$50 price point.  Very disappointing as the system is 50% hardware 50%
software, and an integrated unit would have had great possiblities.

Subject: [ukha_d] Project Natal Preview - Home Automation Implications?



The Gadget Show's Jason Bradbury recently attended the Microsoft
hosted preview of Project Natal - the next gen gaming interface for
the XBox. Watching Jason's first impressions, especially the section
on walking into your lounge, being recognised and using voice control,
definitely have us thinking of the Home Automation possibilities
around the technology.

So after xbmc will the next reason to hack your XBox be to control
your entire home? Will Natal live up to the hype, or will it just be
another cute gaming interface building on what the Wii started. Let
us know what you think in the comments below the article...
