"He says Natal consumes just 10 to 15 per cent of the Xbox's computing resources and it can recognise any pose in just 10 milliseconds. It needs only 160 milliseconds to latch on to the body shape of a new user stepping in front of it."

I thought the camera was meant to have its own CPU for such calculations?

A rumor surfaced earlier today that stated that Microsoft dropped the Natal Chip for economical reasons. Well it's not a rumor now that it has been confirmed but it was earlier.

@OP, the article is not really interesting. New videos of games being played using Natal would be interesting. Now that all this new information has come to light and has led to speculations about how Natal will perform.

If you think the article wasn't interesting then you have no interest in the technology behind NATAL.  The key take away from the article is that Machine learning drives NATAL. 

Sorry that I rained on your parade but it's not the talk that interest me, lip service means nothing. Actually demostrating what the technology can do is a lot more interesting.

you obviously didn't understand the article. 

Yes, I understood the article and the other threads about Natal that have been created to day. I, However, want to see actual footage of games being played with this technology. I do not want to read words. We've heard words from Lionhead, Rare, and other Reps from Microsoft for a while now. They've built up the hype now give us a peek at what Natal can do.
