Natal plots 48 different points on a person's body, such as hands, feet and elbows, to create a wire-frame virtual manikin that mimics a person's movements.

do we know where those 48 points are located?  A lot of people talked up the possibilities of natal however, everyone seems to igore the part that natal doesn't track every part of your body (as least as far as information provided to the 360 is concerned).  I'd like to know how well natal tracks your hands,...will it track your individual fingers (22 points by my count) or just the hand location (2 points, left and right)?

Just curious, where did you hear the bolded?

I had not heard anything like that, but quite the opposite, that it DOES track every part of your body (via the wireframe mapping of specific points).
