[UACCESS-L] No-controller system for XBox presumably uses a camera



http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/projectnatal/

"Project Natal" (how are they pronouncing that?  Like Kwazulu-Natal or like navel?)  is 
some distance from accessibility considerations, on the face of it, but it ought to be 
good for something if folks put their minds to it.  Besides computer games.

"A revolutionary new way to play: no controller required.  See a ball? Kick it, hit it, 
trap it or catch it.  If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you 
and your friends can jump into the fun -- the only experience needed is life experience."

Now that sounds like you need to be athletically fit to do the thing, but remember, 
they'll be selling it to Americans.  So the bar probably is set pretty low.

Suppose, for instance, you can get a point-at-it "keyboard" on this system.  I dig 
Fitaly, but MessagEase or T9 phone text may be more appropriate.
