Microsoft’s “Natal Project” – you are the controller!

Games, Xbox June 3rd, 2009

microsoft_xbox360_natal1

Introduced by Steven Spielberg, Microsoft’s controller-free, motion-sensing gaming system for the Xbox 360 has stunned everyone at E3 Expo in Los Angeles. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it.  If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun - the only experience needed is life experience.

A new revolutionary way to play is based on special sensor that combines an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software all in one device. It tracks your full body movement in 3-D, while responding to commands, directions and even a shift of emotion in your voice. The sensor is not light-dependent. It can recognize you just by looking at your face, and it doesn’t just react to key words but understands what you’re saying. Is the future of games and entertainment happening now?

Microsoft Includes VoIP Ban in App Store Restrictions

Mobile Phones May 10th, 2009

Microsoft is to ban apps that enable VoIP services over carriers’ networks from its Windows MarketPlace for Mobile store when it launches in the second half of this year.

The VoIP app restriction is among the 12 application types forbidden in a list of “rules” announced by Microsoft.

Earlier this week, a Gartner report forecast that traditional network-based mobile carriers face the real prospect of losing a major slice of their voice traffic and revenue to new non-infrastructure players that use VoIP.

While the Microsoft ban is limited to VoIP services it is unclear whether developers will be able to offer VoIP apps using Wi-Fi.

That will not be known for sure until the store is up and running with apps.

InformationWeek points out, however, that Skype already works over 3G on Windows Mobile phones.

It suggests the ban on them must be a concession that the carriers wrung out of Microsoft in return for carrier billing.

Other prohibited apps include those larger than 10MB, those that promote or send users to alternative app stores for the same application, and ones that change the default browser, search client or media player on the device.
