The Gaming world in 2010 is catch up to Wii. Both Microsoft and Sony will introduce their own unique takes on motion controllers. Nintendo will attempt to move things in a different direction with the Wii Vitality Sensor.
Project Natal
Xbox introduce “Project Natal” that revolutionary interface for Xbox 360 ditches joysticks for an array of cameras and microphones that track your movements, recognize your face and respond to your voice
Natal really does track minute movements of your body, allowing you to swing your arms to whack things onscreen or grip an imaginary steering wheel to drive a virtual car.
Apple Tablet
Apple introduce Apple Talet or iPad that overgrown iPhone. You'll be playing stuff like Defense Grid on a big, roomy screen.
Sony Motion Controller
Sony announces the new device is like a Wiimote that can be tracked by an EyeToy camera. The PlayStation 3 will know where the controller is moving, but it will also be able to (for example) project your image onto the TV screen, then replace the controller in your hand with a virtual sword.
The combination of motion sensing and position tracking should make Sony's controller much more accurate than Nintendo's. But we haven't seen much more than tech demos yet, even though Sony says the motion controller will launch in the spring. "Ape Escape" and "Resident Evil" titles that use the controller are in the works.
Wii Vitality Sensor
Nintendo announcement Wii Vitality Sensor, a device that plugs directly into the bottom port of the Wii Remote. The device itself is small and reads your pulse when you stick your finger in it but Vitality Sensor is old tech.
Nintendo will be the path of “relaxation games” similar to yoga but hasn't actually shown any such thing yet.
Nintendo's president recently named the Vitality Sensor one of the company's big products for 2010, saying that software would be announced in July. Our hearts aren't racing just yet.
