Will Project Natal Indicate the End of Unhealthy Gaming?

December 21, 2009

end of unhealthy gaming Will Project Natal Indicate the End of Unhealthy Gaming? Since the advent of video and computer games, they have been perceived as past-times of the couch potato. However, this image is changing, as Nintendo Wii and games such as Dance Dance Extreme are gradually altering the way that games are played. Now, Microsoft has developed the Xbox 360 Project Natal, which looks set to be a more physically active form of gaming than has ever been seen before.

Natal uses a motion-sensing camera similar to that used by the Wii. However, Project Natal’s technology is going to make the console controller redundant, because it is the motion of a player’s entire body that will be required to play a Natal game. For example, one of the demo games requires a player to move around deflecting balls off their body and into a 3D brick wall that will be destroyed when it is struck by the ball.

Undoubtedly, the Wii has made great strides in physical gaming, but the amount of movement that will be required to play Xbox 360’s Project Natal is even greater. This is obviously good news for parents who worry that their child spends too much time on a games console. In fact, it’s good news for the whole family, because many of the Natal games will be able to be enjoyed by multiple players.

Moreover, it is believed, and endorsed by legendary director Steven Spielberg, that the lack of controller will encourage non-gamers to play Natal games, because there are no fiddly button presses or complicated combinations of controls to learn.

One thing is for sure, the advent of an even more active form of gaming can only be a good thing for our health and the health of our children.
