Microsoft Project Natal to Premiere at E3

Microsoft sent out invites of the world premiere of Project Natal to media. The premiere will happen at E3 in June where journalists will get an hands-on experience and will be later followed by a press conference, where we can expect the exact release date and the pricing.

For the uninitiated, Project Natal is Microsoft’s answer to Wii’s motion-sensing controller and recently announced PlayStation’s Move. The device makes the user as a controller and detects body movements to execute commands. Project Natal tracks the body movements with the integrated RGB camera, depth sensor, mic, facial recognition and software running on a custom processor.

Project Natal is rumored for a November 2010 launch for about $80.
