The pet is also very cute. If you’re a tamagochi fan you might want to try this one.

Here’s another video about Project Natal. Personally I’m a bit sceptical about this kind of interaction will be made available to public in the near future.

The technology exists for a long time… motion sensing (Wiimote), infrared to measure distance (small machines used in constructions), camera (image processing like eye toy and AR), etc. I think the biggest challenge is in the software because combining all those technologies and make them working together requires a lot of processing capabilities.

Truth or fiction? You decide!

XBox has just announced a new and revolutionary way to play and interact with XBox 360 console in LA game festival E3 . This controlling system, with codename Project Natal, doesn’t need any accessories or tools to communicate, your body is the controller. You only need the Project Natal Sensor in front of your tv!

We have been talking about Augmented Reality experiments for a while and maybe you asked already what kind of commercial values it will have.

Back in 2006 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. launched the Eye of Judgement, an Eye Toy and card based game that uses Augmented Reality.

A few days ago I came across with the Cyber Figure ARis from Geisha Tokyo Entertainment (japanese only). A 3D “holographic” figure displayed on your computer screen that you can interact with in real life through the manipulation of a special positioning box, paddle, and web camera. The idea popularized in anime such as Hand Maid May has finally come to life! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your own virtual, interactive figure? You can buy it at the JBox website.

You can find more pictures at the Akibablog.

If you know more AR used in commercial applications, please drop us a line.

If you like tetris you need to check this game. It’s called the anti-tetris and what you need to do is to build the highest tower with 99 bricks.

Don’t think this is an easy game because there’s a physics engine built-in.  Your bricks will fall if the weight distribuition is not right.
