Natal tracks "points" with the IR camera, that is the only real difference. It has a standard 2D camera and a IR camera that work together, it doesn't track in true 3D or anything, it just tracks a lot of points in the camera space with monochrome feedback sensing the distance of those points, much like how motion capture works, but on a flat surface since it's just one camera. It would be a nice cheap solution for capturing studios to employ Natals instead of full body suits with balls and a ton of cameras on the side though.
