Microsoft unveils its next big step in gaming

MICROSOFT unveiled its new controller-free, motion sensor system Kinect for Xbox 360 at a launch in Los Angeles.

The device – previously codenamed Project Natal – was shown ahead of this week’s E3 games expo, the world’s largest gaming trade show.

Kinect packs laser motion and voice sensors into a box on top of your TV and allows gamers to control the on-screen action by moving their entire body rather than bashing buttons on a game pad.
