Natal

Microsoft has announced project Natal. Basically a motion capture device for your home. Natal they claim will replace your controller.
In my view this will not happen for several reasons. One the Natal system requires very precise lighting. Lighting most homes do not come with.
Another and the main one is the player. People mostly do not want to jump around to play a game. They want to sit down and relax while they play a game.
However I do welcome the research into Natal. Natal could open doors into not only gaming but other fields for the disabled. I hope that in Microsoft's endeavorers they do not forget the disabled.
