The camera used for the Natal process is infrared, meaning that it can be used in any conditions, regardless of the amount of light available. However, more interestingly, the camera is so sophisticated that it can plot the space in your room & circumvent obstacles, such as sofas, chairs & walls.

Often, the problem with motion-sensory betting is that it is impossible to play in a small room or, alternatively, furniture gets in the way. Well, the advances in motion-sensory technology, made evident in demonstrations of Project Natal, mean that those problems could be a thing of the past. While it is true that the Xbox 360 Natal offers a more physical betting experience, it also makes it not as hard to play in your living room.

In other words, the ‘ricochet ball game’ that has been demonstrated by Microsoft at various events, including the Tokyo Game Show & E3, requires a playing space consisting of a 3D wall, which players knock down with the assistance of a computer-generated red ball. Now, the camera can evaluate the proportions of your room & will move the wall forward, backwards or to the side to keep away from obstacles in your room.

This ensures that no matter how giant your room is or how it is laid out, the game won’t force you to run headlong in to a wall in over zealous play. That’s not to suggest that over zealous play cannot result in destroy to precious antiques, because enthusiastic players will find themselves having to move quickly, but the technologically advanced camera does ensure that Natal games can be played in any room.
