Cool Microsoft demo of Natal hits late night
PC World | at | by Mike
Last night, Microsoft's recently revealed Project Natal was shown on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Project Natal, in case you missed my earlier post, is an add-on for the Xbox 360 that will let you control games without using a controller; instead, your body in effect becomes the controller.
What I wanted to talk about today is the fact that this demo appeared on a talk show at all. Is this a sign that gamer culture has finally arrived? I should stress that the demo wasn't shown as some kind of sideshow goofiness -- Fallon was clearly excited and amazed by it. OK, the red jump suits were kind of goofy. Let's just put it this way, the demo was treated as seriously as anything else on Late Night.
