Project Natal: Telivision’s New Nightmare
We have all seen videos of people breaking their TV’s and furniture while playing the Wii. This picture just makes me think of how worse it going to get with the Natal. I give it a week after a karate game for Natal comes out before someone smashes something.

How Project Natal Works
I wrote a few days ago about how Natal stacks up against the PS Eye, but after listening to the 4Guy1Up Podcast I learned some more details about how Natal works. We already know Natal has two cameras capable of detecting Red/Green/Blue. The podcast explained Natal also gives off a small infrared light (similar to what the Wii uses) and is able to detect how far the light travels. This technology uses the same principle radars do. I will admit, this make it far more likely Natal will provide more accurate motion control than the PS Eye or even Wii. If they can get rid of the delay we have seen, it might finally fulfill people’s dreams of have good motion control games.
