Industry experts say Microsoft is expected Monday to unveil new motion-tracking technology, called Xbox Fluid, that will let gamers use their bodies to act out what their characters do in a video game.At least we've got a name to work with. Check out IGN's live feed of the MS presser and get the scoop on the Xbox Fluid controller -- maybe. Expect more information to hit GameSpy.com very soon.
The device sounds similar to Nintendo's popular Wii. But Xbox Fluid is expected to employ a camera that senses a player's body movements so it doesn't require a handheld remote, as the Wii does.
Will the Xbox Fluid controller make a splash?
Bryn says: Sounds... interesting. I'm sure that it'll get confirmed at the press briefing, but what I want to know from you is this: Would you be interested in having videogames track your bodily movements and interpret them into gameplay actions?
Is this just a gimmick or does it have potential to make for a great product?
