Only at E3 can a Cirque du Soleil event introduce the new name for Microsoft’s Project Natal project, now dubbed “Kinect.” For those that don’t know about the Natal project, it’s pretty much Microsoft’s answer to Nintendo Wii and Playstation Move. The technology is different from both Nintendo and Sony’s motion controls because it doesn’t need controllers. Your body is the controller. The “Kinect” sensor plugs into your 360 and will be able to read your body movement using video, audio and motion tracking. It’s similar to Sony’s Eyetoy, but it is a lot more advanced because it can track 48 points of movement in the human body and can recognize your face.

Update: Microsoft has announced that it will be released on November 4, 2010, with 15 launch titles. Still no price as of yet. The question is, will you be kinecting soon?
