Tuesday, while listing to Microsoft Technical Evangelist John Westin, I learned that  Natal for the Xbox will cost under $100.  This is a great price point in my opinion for the experience a person will have.

Microsoft is not just letting the Natal interface stop with the Xbox.  They are taking it and and the Windows 7 multi-touch to all devices.  There is a video at OfficeLabs that shows what Microsoft thinks will be the future in the next 10 years.  Everything in the video is a working prototype with the exception of the leg room on the Boeing 787 mockup.  My favorite product from the video has to be the newspaper.

If you do not know what I am talking about, it is project Natal from Microsoft.  They are essentially taking away the controller and giving you a motion sensing camera that is just AWESOME!  The days of kids being still while playing video games might come to an end.  They will have to move, dance and throw punches to play the game.  Just thinking about it is making me tired.

This project not only targets game play, but the way we communicate.  There will  be more on that at a later time.

Here are some video links so you can see what I am talking about.  Here is one where people are playing with other people around them:
