Well then NJ5 that is exactly what ms is doing. They've found a potential problem and are coming up with a solution for it.
Did anyone here actually read the article?
he said
"The forthcoming Project Natal motion control technology could replace the television remote control in the future, automatically scheduling content according to the people in a room, according to comments made by Xbox Live general manager Marc Whitten.
Speaking at the Streaming Media West show, as reported by Yahoo! Tech, Whitten described the increasing number of video applications - which includes Netflix in the US and Sky Player in the UK - on the Xbox 360 as the "biggest surprise" of his job.
Whitten also predicted that the increasing range and number of sources for video content required a new, easier to use controller than the traditional remote control - and that Project Natal was well placed to take over this role."
Scheduling content to the people in the room. You walk in and it sees you so sets up your favourites or recorded programmes before you sit down. Without you having to do anything.
Large number of video sources and increasing range requires a new easier to control remote. You can still use an old fashioned remote, i know i would prefer that to watch but there woulod be segments when it's easier to use gesture or point and click with you're finger.
Have natal built into the tv. Natal is not only for the 360, it suits being placed in the tv. Far fectched having it as part of the tv?
Remember most of you "sceptics" weren't so "sceptical" when sony said the cell would be in everything including tvs. You loved the idea of having a so called "supercomputer" in a tv.
Not overkill or and extra useless drain on electricity then.
Too many here for whatever reasons are reading only the headline and then jumping on the hate bandwagon. Think about it for a while. take it with a pinch of salt instead of taking his words as gospel to use them to attack natal, and see how it could be implimented.
But most of you all have made you mind up and it wont work because you can't think of any way to use it. Because you said so.
I'm so glad none of you work in any scientific field. We'd still be running from fire and killing people possesed by the devil for using sorcery like the wheel.
