Microsoft’s Don Mattrick announced Project Natal, the Xbox 360 motion control camera system at their press conference today. As their big, final announcement, Project Natal seemed slightly less-exciting (in terms of audience applause level) then their other announcements, but still looks to be an interesting system should it work as advertised.

The system would not only allow you to play all sorts of games by just using your body, but would also allow you to control the Xbox LIVE dashboard with your body as well.

Director Steven Spielberg was brought on stage to also talk about the project and how he believes in the system. The presuposition here being that his upcoming secret project will make full-use of the system.
