Natal a super Camspace for PS3, Wii better than


Even today, the Wii was beating up on the PS3 and XBox 360, but not as in sales, it is a very simple game but had an unsurpassed playability. Your control with motion sensors, end up making a difference and made the Wii was that success. Only now, with both the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 decided to counter-attack.

Sony has launched a bat with a light at the tip and motion sensors, very good for who has the best video game market. The best part is considered the technical and graphics.

Microsoft already broke with the "Project Christmas" because it is a motion sensor that captures the movement of your entire body, voice recognition and facial recognition, all in a video game that has the integration with Windows Live.

The Christmas Project is very similar to the Camspace, only much more sophisticated.

As I read on Gizmodo the name Christmas is referring to the city of Natal, as Microsoft explained:
"Alex Kipman, who incubated the project and is from Brazil, chose Natal, a city on the northeast coast of Brazil, as a tribute to his country. Furthermore, he knew that Christmas also means "born" in Latin. Given the new audience that the "Christmas Project" will help bring the Xbox 360, the name fit "

Now watch the video of this wonder:

CamSpace: Your PC almost like a Wii

Yesterday when I read the Blog Clavatown about the program CamSpace was psyched to test, and was the first thing I did when I got home.
In short, the program works very well, the only thing you need to make it work is a Webcam, the program identifies a colored object you are holding the movement and then uses this object to interact with games.

Of course it does not have the same capabilities as a Wii, because you get stuck on a 2D plane, so it may give up trying to play bowling with him, at least the way it is played on the Wii. On the other hand has good resources to play any game shooting and running.
The object must have a unique color that stands out in the environment, preferably non-metallic, flat and rectangular and good lighting and camera settings.
Another thing I discovered is that needed to upgrade my IE, it opens as many games in Flash in IE, and at home I only use Firefox and Chrome, Flash was outdated.
The best games are the internal and the emulators for joystick and mouse to play any computer games.
