I think you missed the point ...

In order to detect motion accurately without a lot of false-positives or false-negatives (and without noise) you need multiple data-points to generate a trend from. If the NATAL runs at 30fps how sensitive can it be for detecting subtile motions? It will (potentially) work really well if you're trying to translate an absolute position to the screen, but motion will not work as well as the Wii; and in particular the Wii MotionPlus.

It runs at 60FPS from what I recall. It also has video compression built into the unit so as to not saturate the USB connection from the Natal camera to the Xbox 360 as its essentially real time.

Do we know something about the angular resolution of the processed 3d map? Because it's critical if the sampling rate is only 60 hz.

Oh, and @Selnor: what do you mean with "preset motion controls"?
