The Face of Project Natal, Augmented Reality and the Future of Gaming

By Matt Van Hoven 

Project Natal is the first gaming-system-based AR program the general public will have heard of. Here’s a product demo that shows what it sees when it looks at you. Kinda creepy Big Brother implications when you think about it &#151 a product that ties the Web to your physical person. Wrap in social networking sites and there’s pretty much no way a person can hide (if he/she puts him/herself on the Web, that is). Project Natal is from Microsoft’s XBOX.
