] just announced the technology it hopes will drive the next generation of video game growth.
The XBox 360 will make YOU the controller - no controller will be required. The company is calling this sensor that tracks movements "Project Natal", saying when it goes on sale it'll work with every XBox 360 out there and every future one it'll sell. Now video game makers are starting to work with the technology to develop games. No word yet on exact pricing for the sensor camera.
Steven Spielberg came on stage to lend his support for the project. He says that this tackles the challenge of making interactive entertainment absolutely accessible to everyone, by making the technology invisible. Spielberg develops video games through a deal at E3, and said that this will be as significant as the transformation of a square movie screen to cinema scope and IMAX. Spielberg says "this isn't about reinventing the wheel, it's about no wheel at all."

XBox demoed "Paint Party", a painting game using the new motion capture and voice controls. Call out voice commands to assign color and making hand motions to slash paint onto a canvas on the screen. Say "pose' and the monitor takes a picture of a shape you've made and turns it into a stencil. Pretty awesome.
